Hello Rob,
Back about 30 years ago there was a paint
that you could put on the roof that simulated a vinyl roof. There was even a
tape that could be applied to simulate the seams in the vinyl. If applied
correctly, it would look very good but did not last very well. It soulds like
that might be what you have sprayed over the original paint.
As to the gauges, there is a small unit
plugged in the back of the instrument panel that lowers the voltage for the
gauges. It sounds like that may be burned out. It is (or used to be) called a
voltage limiter.
Have an Imperial day,
