That's a better idea than just painting it. When I find a hardtop, I've got a new route to go with getting the inside done.

Thanks.

LineX is way more durable and has sound deadening properties.

But a HELLOVA lot more expensive. Why would the bottom of my roof need to be durable anyways?

For those who have coated the underside of their hardtop, how long does it take for the smell to go away? I'll probably wait until next spring to do this but am curious.

Ok so bed liner inside hardtop for sound deading. I want to paint it as well but was trying to figure out with what. Guess I just got to find out which one because I did my grill n it's ruff very ruff n couldn't see using that inside the top. Only because it would piss me off if I scratch it with my head or hand. Now back to Jesus, sorry I briefly got off topic but with all the stuff happening, I finally got tired of it. It just seems, it's fine to be anything but a Christian .

I did my top 3 days ago and when it sits in the sun too long I can smell it. But I bet it'll be completely gone in a week

How's it holding up where the targa top pieces rotate to latch the left and right and rear pieces? Rubbing off?? Looks awesome and I got a few extra cans laying around... How many cans did you use??

I dont know if many of you are avid anglers, but a gun rack for a truck's back window fits in the hard top side windows. I use it to hold my 2 piece fishin poles so I have 2 poles ready if I just happen to be wheelin by a lake.
