Adding dye to darken the color and satisfy the customers ? ? Makes to much sense so it probably won't happen ...My buddy owns a major body shop (they do all the Ford, Subaru, Jeep, Lincoln, Lexus) dealers paint and body in our area. Spoke to him and showed my close up pics of the MIC top from when I was there live in Tennessee and he feels pretty sure it can be painted, might need some prep. I wanted white top and gonna have his shops paint it right after I get home.
Or. Not sure why Ford can’t ask the MIC top manufacturer to add extra black dye in the mix so it’s actually black/very dark grey. Seems like a no brainer and would be same cost as the current color.
Here’s a closeup pic.
Not familiar with that treatment. Do they do white and if so, would that light of color get scuff marks in regular use? Thanks!At this point I have just committed to spend the 7 or 800 bucks to go Line-X Premium. My local shop said that is how much they charge for a 2 door jeep. Lifetime warranty for peeling, cracking and fading.
They will do white, but I am not sure that I would go with it. The white would look good at first, but I'm afraid it would get stained or dingy over time. I don't have any experience with the pigmented versions, but I know it is possible.
Are we sure that the "grey" everybody is seeing isn't just glare?My buddy owns a major body shop (they do all the Ford, Subaru, Jeep, Lincoln, Lexus) dealers paint and body in our area.
