Dealer charges $2799.00 for painting the top

I think that is incorrect, unless you are speaking of a different dealer.

That's my dealer, I'll certainly be calling down there tomorrow morning to schedule some time with that beauty
Ask for Justin Fuller (Bronco Manager) and we will get you on the schedule.

The first time i saw the MIC top color, This is what ive planned on doing to mine when i get it. Pretty simple to do since ive done autobody for about 25 yrs. Not sure what others will be charging to do,but im sure not cheap at all since everyone who wants a color matching top through Ford has to wait.

Shawn C: “Just went on a test drive with Tom Detwiler, pics do not do this thing justice at all. This thing is an absolute beast! Parked next to the 4Runner, 4Runner has 6” lift and 35” tires. Makes me even more impatient for my FE to get here.”

“ Top was painted by the dealer, Dave Sinclair Ford, they are putting a package together for customers to purchase this as an option with them.”

Did it come out smooth? I assumed it would be rough like the MIC top I've seen in pictures.

Very nice; The matching top gives it a more no compromise and premium look IMO.

Same. And some details how to do it, as obviously I will not drive so far there.
There's no black magic. It's literally correct surface prep, primer (possibly adhesion promoter depending) and base coat / clear coat. Any competent body / paint shop should be able to do it.

Not being flip. More work than science when it comes to prep. Hit up a quality paint shop and bring them some pizza and quiz 'em.

Prep is the key. Even an amateur can spray base coat / clear coat and have it come out looking great - if they are willing to put in the TIME to cut / buff / polish afterwards.

Lots of labor involved. Removing windows, hardware, removing headliner and adhesive then prepping inside and out. $1900 isn't bad honestly.

Quality materials (not counting shop misc like sandpaper, tape etc etc) are much more expensive than most people think.

Talking to a boat repair shop as they do fiberglass hulks repair and gelcoat painting. His fiberglass man wants to see it.

And it's a no-go. He was afraid after looking on the MIC that the chemicals in the paints he is using for the boat gelcoat would attack the surface and suggested rather a body shop.
