Re: top paint
I'm doing the same thing. The PO smoothed my double wall top out and painted it black. Currently doing repairs on my hatch. I'm going back to textured white too. Gonna stop by the local LineX place on Monday to get a quote for having my top sprayed in white with their UV bed liner. I like the texture of LineX and think it will also add some level of crack protection as well. Curious as to what others have done in the past as well.

Re: top paint
I sprayed mine myself. The product is called Raptor Liner. You can get it black or clear and have it tinted any color. I tinted mine grey to match my interior.

Re: top paint
Looks good! Can we get a close up look on the texture? What prep work was involved?

Re: top paint
Pressure washing was the only prep, and a small amount of bondo where I had a crack. Google raptor liner and you can see their product and pics. My Jimmy is in my shop and I won't get to it for a few days. Just added this hoist to the rafters this week to lift it on/off

On another note, what did you have done to ll the hatch hardware and struts? Beadblast and powder coated? They also look great. |

Re: top paint
Nice job. Doing my inside when it warms up. Prep is simple. Just follow manufacturer instructions. Get a Gallonew of xylene for clean up and cleaning spray gun.

Re: top paint
I sanded all the texture off of the outside, the inside is a spray over. I ordered the clear Raptor and tinted it a GM off white something like GM 40 or something like that, I have the can in the garage if you would like the paint code. I sprayed it as instructed and them moved back and splattered it for more texture. After a day I had yellow areas so I ended up painting the hole top inside and out with the same paint and then cleared it to seal it up. If I were to do it again I would just get black and them paint it.
On the hatch hardware I sandblasted everything with very fine sand and them painted them gray.

Re: top paint
It's part of the top to quarter panel seal that is glued to the bottom on the top.
