So I was thinking about painting my hard top bright silver to match my jeep since I have a bunch of scratches on it. So should I pay the ridiculous cost to get it professionally painted OR get some mopar spray touch up paint.... Or possibly Duplicolor brand ?

 

This should be fun...

Did you get a pro paint quote? How much? What about the inside of the top?

 

Not yet. But on guessing a few hundred bucks. I did Duplicolor truck bed liner in the inside and it's awesome. I also did my wheel wells and they have held up Great! Looks new after a year so thinking of the outside now

 

All the quotes around here for a professional color match of just the outside have been over $1300. I believe the prep time is ridiculously long...

 

Wow would be interested in solutions, I have a few marks on my hard top from brush and branches offroading and have thought about what to do at some point as far as paint.

 

Just damaged my top driver's side panel. $300+ to get OEM replacement from dealer and there is a lengthy backorder on them according to my parts guy. Was considering other options such as painting it, Line-X, or some other bedliner type applications on the outside and the inside.

Suggestions??

 

I think buying that many cans of Mopar paint would be pretty expensive itself. There might be a place where you can order a gallon of matching paint and then just rent a paint sprayer from Home Depot.

 

I just picked up a 4dr Rubicon last night and the hard top is scratched up pretty bad. Was thinking about Duplicolor but also considering the Raptor Liner from U-POL. Dont know, havent decided yet. Want it to look good.

 

Several companies sell the bright silver metallic color for jeep in a spray can. It will be hard to get the glossy color but I think it will still look good. I have line x my outside of my entire cj before and it looked good. My plan is a simple $100 job possibly with spray can from mopar or dupli-color then if it's crappy pay the $1300 to get it done. I dunno though. Someone has had to do this before on te forum
