Skye:
Ugh! I wouldn't take it apart if I were you. Taking it apart is asking for
trouble, IMHO. Sandblasting would be a lot easier than hand-sanding, though!
Prior to installing my new top, I simply hand-sanded the frame (Michelotti
type), primered it with heavy red "rusty metal" primer and sprayed it again
with semi-gloss black (grey in your case). It looks very nice and has held
up well. You just have to make sure you let it cure for a day or two.
Cheers,
Dan
