I wouldn't doing anything. A little faded doesnt look bad, but the "painted" convertible tops look terrible, and something isn't right. I replaced the top on my 2002 because previous owner tried to rejuvenate the top when selling with renovo. disaster
FWIW, if the top is in good shape, it probably looks fine and looks natural.
My personal logic:
1. it doesn't make the car more reliable or valuable.
2. when the top is up, the weather sucks
3. a brand new top looks great and if it bothers you, do that
4. if you review feedback, youll hear others complain that it looks weird and splotchy

no offense to others that feel differently
