Dying Canvas Top
Q&A :: 0004
 

QUESTION I just bought my second Bentley, a 1931 4 Litre chassis with an 8-Litre engine which comes in handy in the rocky mountains. The canvas top needs to be blackened, do you know of a shop doing that or appropriate material I should use?

One recommendation I got is to use Kiwi shoe polish to blacken the canvas top! Does anyone else have any other suggestions?

ANSWER There is a British product called RENOVO - World's Best Products for Convertible Tops. Order kit CRK- cloth refinishing kit. I refinished my faded cloth top and won a national 1st place prize at the RROC meet in Chicago. I do not remember where I ordered the kit from but I recommend it highly. It is water soluble for clean up and any drops on the paint work can be cleaned up with water. Highly recommended.

Ed.: We found a website for this company at www.RenovoInternational.com. The U. S. distributor of Renovo is larry@carcareonline.com in New Jersey.
