I haven’t really seen a completed dark tan painted hard top so I figured I would post. Mine was beyond just oiling. It was super faded, and worn through in some areas. All I did was wipe it down with wax and grease remover and some scotch bright. Taped off the windows. Then I sprayed it with SEM code 5110 using a HPLV gun. That paint code is for it mixed, but they also sell it in spray cans as “camel”. It came out good especially considering it required minimal prep. I had previously used oil on a few spots to see if it would restore it, and must have missed them with the wax and grease remover. The paint didn’t stay evenly on those spots it clumped up and didn’t look right. If you oiled your whole top I would wait a few months to let most of it come off. Then scrub the top with wax and grease remover. For the spots that this happened to I lightly sanded with 600 grit, scrubbed them with remover, and then resprayed. In the end they came out fine.
SEM is great stuff.
Here are a few before and after
