Paint hard top. What to use?
So I was thinking about painting my hard top bright silver to match my jeep since I have a bunch of scratches on it. So should I pay the ridiculous cost to get it professionally painted OR get some mopar spray touch up paint.... Or possibly Duplicolor brand ?

Wow would be interested in solutions, I have a few marks on my hard top from brush and branches offroading and have thought about what to do at some point as far as paint.

Just damaged my top driver's side panel. $300+ to get OEM replacement from dealer and there is a lengthy backorder on them according to my parts guy. Was considering other options such as painting it, Line-X, or some other bedliner type applications on the outside and the inside.
Suggestions??

I think buying that many cans of Mopar paint would be pretty expensive itself. There might be a place where you can order a gallon of matching paint and then just rent a paint sprayer from Home Depot.

I just picked up a 4dr Rubicon last night and the hard top is scratched up pretty bad. Was thinking about Duplicolor but also considering the Raptor Liner from U-POL. Dont know, havent decided yet. Want it to look good.
