Not to hijack your thread, but every time I see a reference to a GoWesty 2.3 I need to ask:� How do you like it, and would you go that route again?

So... I have mildew marks on the gold 'velvet' that covers the inside of the Westy Poptop on my '85.� I've tried killing the mildew with Lysol which seemed to work pretty well but I can't get rid of the nasty-looking dark splotches.� I've tried fabric spray with bleach, spray carpet & upholstery cleaner, and simple green with a brush.� Nothing works... and I don't want to scrub too hard and rub off the 'velvet'.

Has anyone experimented with fabric paint, or gluing another layer of fabric over the old stuff?� 
I want to tackle this before or with the spring project of replacing the canvas.
