[Healeys] 100-6 Fiberglass Hardtop Re-Do

On my 1957 100-6 BN4, I have a secondary market fiberglass hard top (white) 
believed to be of the same basic age as the car ('57).  The structure of this 
hard tops seems to be solid throughout but the surface is experiencing 
extensive surface cracking, like what you might find in a cracked termpered windo.   
Although this appears superficial, it is unsightly and I would like to have the 
cracking correctly repaired, then a new coat of color applied. 
I am in search of recommendations from my extensive Healey "family" as to 
what to do and from my San Diego Healey "family",   where I might have this 
hardtop repaired.   I was thinking of pursuing a body shop that specializes in old 
mid-fifties Corvette or Thunderbird tops, as I suspect that the old fiberglass 
material might be the same.     
Also, I want to have a new headliner installed.  Any recommendations from my 
San Diego Healey "family" would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
