Has anyone painted the exterior of their hardtop? I just bought a used one but it has a couple of scratches, all the way down to the white fiberglass shell. I know I can take it to a body shop and have them do it but thought I'd check with members of the forum to see if anyone has done it themselves. If you did what type of paint did you use? I'm want that same textured look that comes with it from factory. Have any pics?

Thanks

 

Please color match your Jeep! I think it looks really good

 

A friend of mine did his. He roughed it up with a scotchbrite pad and painted it hammered black. It turned out great.

 

Check with LV doug he did a bed liner on his and it looks great. He is in Moab now so he will not be able to get back with you now.

 

I wish you had pics of this it sounds like a great idea. I can't stand the way it scratches so easily.

 

The stock paint is real crap

 

I just did this the other day.... I used a scuffy pad to obviously scuff up the paint in order for it to bond correctly and not flake off later and then wiped her down with 3m prep solvent to remove any particles and what not... Then i hosed her down with dupli color bed liner coating... get the roll on kind and it will come out mint... and it has a nice rough surface that is sure to prevent easy scratches from wheelin. Comes in black and looks awesome and dries quickly.

 

i would like to see it i did my harness bar in that and it looks great
