Painting Hardtop

My hardtop is 20 years old but it still looks pretty good. There is little chipping and such, but I want to paint it an eggshell black to match all of my Powdercoated stainless and give it a fresh look.

What do I use and how to I prep??

I just painted mine last month.. First I cleaned it with dish detergent and water. Then I used scotch bright pads to scuff the surface up real good. Then I went over it several times with a wax and grease remover. To paint it... I bought a quart of SEM from my local auto paint store. It is basically a bumper/trim paint. It turned out great.. it has a nice matte finish to it.

It looks good! Can you post some other pics?
Here are a few more I just snapped.. The top is a little dirty.. Where the paint looks faded is just dust/dirt...
