Default Painted Hardtop

I have an bright silver 07 unlimited sahara with a black hardtop. I want to get all of the black trim paint matched including the hardtop. so thats door handles, mirrors, hood latches, and bumbers. Is maaco an appropriate place? I've seen a couple jk's with paint matched hardtops and were they purchased like that or custom painted?

Agreed....GAY....but if you absolutely HAVE TO GET THIS DONE.....PLEASE for the love of GOD, don't go to Maaco....look around for a painter and at each one ask for a portfolio of previous work...It's like picking a good tattoo artist...do some research!

ok thanks for your input....here is my inspiration for doing what I have explained maybe it will give you a better idea of why I want to be silvered out.

Super Awesome Silver Jeep!

Default Hummer?

Look at the spare tire on that JK! That rig is way to "hummerish" for me. But whatever you want youre paying the notes not me.

I painted my 2008 Dark Green Rubi top body color on the outside and trim color inside.

Best line I heard so far abot it from passers by: "WOW... That's what HUMMERS dream of at night "

Go for it.
