I've got the vinyl off both my '65 Imperial and my '75 Newport. The Newport is a chameleon as it was green, and still has some green, but now has alot of black and some white. I don't plan on replacing it's top but painting the top white instead with the rest of the car black. The Imperial, however, will be getting a new top at some point but I'm thinking of also painting the top before it gets it's new vinyl -- just as a "protective coating" -- or will this hamper the vinyl replacement process?
