I talked to Matt Stanford at Varsity the other day about the possibility of painting the MIC top white. He said that his body group has done a couple of them and the cost was around $1,100. I also talked to my local Line-X dealer in Brighton and they told me the only thing they could do was black. I know that a dealer in Florida did it in white so I may still look around a bit.

Here is a picture of what Varsity sent me. Photos courtesy of Varsity Ford Ann Arbor.

That actually looks pretty sharp and seems like a reasonable deal. I talked to the Line-X guy in the fall about spraying the rocker panels and he quoted me $2k so I can't imagine what he wants to charge for an entire top.

@DETT Wow, there is a thread over in the main forums that had a top done for I think it was around $900 down in Florida. Your quote sounds like someone that doesn't want to mess with it so they through a high price out.

@ArrickSports I don't want to knock him too bad. I also went to a local Rhino-Liner place and they weren't much better. They made the case that it's a real PITA, especially if you want it up on the door sills. You have to remove the doors and mask/seal the entire cab off to do it.

@DETT valid point. I mean in my case ;-) I may never get a Bronco so I just dream anyway although I think I am bugging Matt enough that he wants mine delivered just so I go away ;-)

Looks very cool! I am curious as to what flex additives and or adhesion promoters they will use on the MIC tops. Cost could be several issues? #1 being labor and rates. Shops are having a hard time filling positions last I heard and the labor market is tighter here than FL. The hourly rate is probably double in MI. Raw materials are just stupid right now. I would hate to quote anything these days. If the customer waits to pull the trigger until your next order of whatever materials, the cost could be 10, 20, 30% higher.

Funny, I have a friend who lives in Plymouth that has a 2 door white Bandlands with his top painted white.

@BCA quite possibly could be his since AA is pretty close. I'll keep my eye out for it since I work over by USA Hockey Arena

The white looks really sharp!! Have you thought about a wrap? Could be a good way to get what you want! Budget bronco on you YouTube has a diy video and the wrap was under $200 looked good!
