no i ask a wile back about vinyl tops and they all said that removing it with chem. takes just as long as sanding and if you are going to repeat it any way might as well sand it. and like you said it is to cold to use it any way so sand away

Watch out for heat when sanding. Don't sand in one spot for to long.

ya you can use POR15 then put a vinyl top back over it. i don't think you will need to put a top coat knowing that it will be covered with the vinyl.

Wouldnt the easiest way be a sander? Sand it down smooth and prime it?

but if you don't cover it up what the what is the best top coat. i saw that there is a 2 part top coat and a 1 part top coat (for one part I'm guessing the blackcote)
