Painting a hard top
Just wondering. What prep work would you need to do to paint a hardtop to
match the body color? Seems pretty straight forward to me. |
Re: Painting a hard top
All i did was sand and paint.
I used the cheap wallyworld spray paint and it lasted for years, with no peeling fading or anything..... I used a sanding block to prep. wiped down with denatured alchol and painted......

Re: Painting a hard top
If you have a textured fiberglass hard top like the one on my YJ, you should
do some thinking before you attack it with sand paper. First, sanding will no doubt destroy the finish and second, it will be hard to sand it completely smooth. Go to your local body work supply, and find out what chemical cleaner and etching primer they recommend. If you have a smooth hard top, disregard this post.
