  • Today I finally color matched my black Jeep Wrangler hard top to match the limited edition gecko green paint! I think it turned out amazing for $500 and 3 long days of hard work! And to answer the age old question of can you color match a hard top after the fact the answer is yes! :)

    Definitely need to black out the tail lights, this thing is gonna look clean after the suspension and wheels for sure

    What would you charge for hard top and fenders? Curious what this would cost as i have no paint experience nor do I want to buy a bunch of stuff to do it my self. I have a compressor my self but I doubt its big enough to paint and I dont use it enough already.

  • @jimlove3795
    @jimlove3795 2 года назад +1

    Painting the hard top made such a huge improvement ! Outstanding job Ryan. Funny you mentioning about painting the roof in the American 🇺🇸. The Bantam Jeep commercial that played during your segment showed a 1/4 scale model Jeep with that exact paint scheme on it.

  • @joemartino6976
    @joemartino6976 11 месяцев назад

    Wow. This looks really great. Thanks for letting us know you can work with a textured hardtop rather than replacing it. My son has a 2016 4 door JK/Sport in the Rhino color and giving it a more monochromatic look by body coloring the fenders and hardtop is the way to go. The one exception is maybe painting the top portion of the hardtop a white or light color to minimize the effect of Texas sun and heat. Also, I would be inclined to do all the prep work and let a body shop do the paint since i have no real experience (or equipment) for that end of the job. My Festool sanders with dust extraction will work well on removing the texture. Again, thank you so much for showing how to do this.

  • @SOobaDD
    @SOobaDD 6 месяцев назад

    I sanded it down with 180 to remove the texture and applied primer surfacer. Then sanded it down with 400, 600, and 800. I removed the glass from the hardtop before I painted it. It's time consuming but looks better than textured black.
