6 Apply protection covers to the vehicle inside and out to prevent accidental damage/scratching. 7 Ensure the frame work and tent are sealed correctly and check for water ingress. We also recommend you drive your vehicle to check for metal movement noises as soon as the roof is in place and before you start doing interior finishes.

If you do decide to have your roof painted please note the following. Before starting the preparation for the spraying of the roof, the roof must be pre cured at 40-50 degrees Celsius for about 3 hours to remove any residual moisture content. This is especially necessary with dark colours.

Inspect the surface of the roof for pores or air pockets. If necessary puncture these places and fill them with polyester based filler. Sand the gel coat surface with a rotary sander using 280-grit or finer abrasive paper.

Then apply 2 pack high build primer to create an undercoat for the topcoat. Once primer has cured, sand with the rotary sander using 500-grit or finer abrasive paper.
