It is not hard to do yourself. There are several write ups about it. I did it to mine. Cost me $125 and that's just for supplies.

Default I thought about it

I am looking at a free to cheap hardtop. (Waiting on a reply to an e-mail)
A guy wrecked his jeep but still has the top.
He said it is repairable. I was thinking of getting it and having a good body shop fix it and then rhino, lineX or whatever just to strengthen it.

That's funny. That's the same reason I did mine. I bought the back part of a hardtop used and it needed repair and paint. I was able to repair it myself then Herculined it. I have to say....it is stronger. I think you'll be happy with it.

I called a local Line-X shop and they quoted me $750. That sounds muy expensivo to me.

I'm actually considering doing my hard top to match the factory dark khaki, and the tub & roll bar to match the factory sunburst orange. There is a product called Raptor Liner by U-POL. It is supposed to be an outstanding product with UV protection included, so fading and discoloration will be reduced considerably. This is a much cheaper than having it Rhino lined or Line-X'd. It is available in black, or tintable. It is also supplied with a hardener. A company here in town named Gladwin Paint Co. supplies the stuff. Just Google them.

You might consider going that route.
