Plastidip. I would think you could hold it back to create some spatter effect.

Look up the rustoleum painting thread. Maybe an option there.

Assuming you are taking the car in for paint in a few months, why make more labor with something that will cost time (money) to be removed?
I want a weekend project that can make the car still look decent until it gets painted.

2-8" strips of black duct tape will make it a 20-footer, but that's not much of a project. But thinking out loud: If you really want a project, spray it with flat black, cover it with lace that has a constant pattern (not all that fancy stuff), and then coat it with a semi-gloss paint. If it were me, I'd probably go the duct tape route...

Talk to your local paint jobber and explain what you want to do. There should be something available, like an inexpensive industrial paint with hardener. If too glossy, you can always add some flattening agent to it.

He said he wanted to paint it in a couple of months...ever try to get bedliner off?
I vote for leave it alone or use some black duct tape.

I've thought about the duct tape. Gorilla tape....but the heat makes it come right off.
I'm swapping to the hemi to make it more of a driver...I'd really like the painted top to get me to go a little longer. I intend on driving the paint off of it.
You can kinda seen the tear in the roof in this picture...but it's been "edited" lol

Even if you are doing paint later, why not just replace the top now? One and done.
Like I said before, you have labor to some pull the top off and prep that surface for paint anyway.
I don't think I'm going back with the vinyl. I'd like to put the steel hood back on and go turbine bronze metallic over everything.
