I wonder if the flexible paint additives would be compatable for your brand of paint they sell it for adding to paint for painting bumpers and fairings on cars to make the paint flex with the plastic parts.
Well......you can paint it, but it would make the top brittle and the paint would crack as the top flexed. It wouldn't look good!

I figured it would just crack and flake off. The additives might work, but it would flap in the wind a bit and probably still crack. I dunno if they are cheap I might try it.

Thanks Guys!

The truck is completly finished. I also have everything needed to turn it into a winch truck (minus the pto shaft). Need to sell it, any takers?

Ok here are the pics. I need to actually paint the inside of the bed, the hood and a little touch up on the passenger side. I also need to take all of the masking tape off and de fog the windows. I was cutting it very close on the rain so I just put a 1" strip around the frame of the glass and decided to take off the over spray paint off later.

Now I need to order a bunch of stickers and do some stenciling. Then I will get my winch rebuilt and installed. Then it is on to making a center console and jump seat like we did in the deuce.

One questions I have for anyone is...
Can I paint my soft top? I was thinking of making the truck all one color. Right now it is a 3 color camo soft top.
Found this on canvas tops:
