Did the ones on my 81 z. Used sem clear texture then, dyed sem saddle tan came out nice.
I believe sem no longer makes the clear texture ,only comes in black, so on my TATA I'm going to use the fusion silver 2522 and then use the sem dye for a better color match. make sure clean the parts good and sand off any loose material and wipe with alcohol. I have used the fusion(non textured) stuff on out door plastic chairs and looks good after 5 years on peeling.( but for automotive use ,use the SEM as a topcoat as it has WAY better UV protection)
PS the sem smells real bad (no water borne garbage here) so use a respirator either charcoal or better still a fresh air one.

For the best look i agree, but trying to budget this until i can afford new replacements.

The non clear texture coating doesn't bother me a bit because i can still ye right over it. Interior is going to be Black anyway so it shouldn't be a problem. I'm going to go ahead and try this out see what the end result will be.
