Colours:

At Austops, our roofs are finished in premium UK-made gelcoats for long-lasting quality.
Colours are supplied as standard in high-gloss white or black (with white matched to the manufacturer’s paint, e.g. VW candy white, Ford frozen white & Renault glacier white).
Individual colour matching is available for vehicle manufacturers colours, or any RAL colour from the RAL colour chart. There is a small fee for this colour matching service.
For those planning to respray, we also offer an Anthracite gelcoat primer, ready for topcoat and lacquer. You will need a light sanding before applying.
