JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Default Painted Exterior of my Hard Top

So I never liked the khaki top. It doesnt match anything else on the JK and was starting to fade. So I sucked it up and went for it. I painted my hard top with Rustoleum Spray-on Bedliner. Used up about 6 cans. Sanded it with 150 grit sandpaper and used two coats of adhesion promoter. Not in that order. Ill post more/better pics when its installed Sunday but here it is for now.Click image for larger version

Wow.... I wouldn't have thought that it would turn out that nice.... That's awesome. I've got a few scratches on my top and this was be the perfect way to cover them up; and, avoid future scratches.

Looks great man. When I first read the title I thought this was another posting about someone wanting to have a matching painted hard top so their Jeep looked more like a SUV.
