i did this a year ago but with a similar product.
Its pretty tough, no more chipping but there is one problem iv found. Mud stains into it, and being a rough finish its pretty hard to get out. No matter what iv done the mud stains are all over the hard top, the closest i can get it back to black is by rubbing something like lanolin into it. Brings it back to solid black but only lasts a week.

My solution, sand the stuff back till its smooth (which is pretty easy) and give it a paint with a normal black spray.
Its come out much nicer now and more similar to the normal hard top but much stronger.

You wanna know a trick to getting those stains off, spray it down with a bottle of Shout fabric wash spray, soak it and let it almost dry and hit it with pressure washer and it will look like new, i use that stuff to clean my 4wheelers after riding in mud and clean my engine bay after wheeling.

Pressure washer on a good bedlining job will get the mud out.
