White cab top

[cranetruck]

Painted the bikini top white today. I could swear it felt cooler inside with the sun beaming down on it....

I purposly left the edges camo to make the white top less visible from the ground walking around the truck.

Looks good. Any particular paint needed to paint canvas? Watch that passenger side wiper. It may hang up on the frame. It also looks like you have updated the wiper arms...Saturn has this kt...is it worth it?

So you noticed the wipers! Well, the passenger side is just parked funny. Since I started to use Rainex, I have actually never had to run the wipers, but the upgrade does work a lot better than the originals.

Here is a better view of the new paint job. As far as type of paint, I have used oil based, acrylic, "alkyd" and they all seem to work well.
BTW, I use a brush to apply the paint, like to "work" it in...

Looks good! Love the Rainex, been using it for years on all my vehicles. Wipers are not needed even in a 'driving' rain. No pun intended.

anyone ever use a green canvas military tent for shade? Is it necessary to paint it white?

I can say this, the insulated vinyl tops are much cooler than the canvas. The green canvas seems to radiate lots of heat in the sun or at least thats the case with the tents.

You will be glad you did that when you hit the Southwest. It has been smokin' hot as of late.
