Wrapped my Base MIC top in Gloss White

[Marauder]

That’s awesome! May solve my conundrum about shifting to the MIC top from the Mod Top.

natually, the Mod Top has other perks, but the painted black look was the highest priority for me

I have seen some white painted tops, but not a wrapped top. So, here is proof it can be done!

Full video below. This is not intended to be a professional-level quality wrap job. I just wanted to see if it could be done by a novice. This is a 1.0 MIC top that is going to be replaced in about 6 months anyway, so at that time I can decide if I want to do another wrap, or possibly paint it. Either way, I am very happy with the white top look, it really completes the retro vibe I am going for with this build. I bought the wrap on Amazon, 15 feet for about $180.

Let me know if you have any questions, I will be happy to answer them. Here is the full video:

Hey You're up on Mt. Washington! Maybe I'll see yinz around the Burgh!

Nice. I would add a thin band of white to the body under the rear 1/4 windows, with the bottom edge even with the top of the doors, and a strip of black to the side of the top, just above the door windows.

Yeah, that looks great.

Love to hear how it ages and holds up over a bit of time.

I will definitely report back on that in a few months...thanks!

In my mind I thought I would hate it. But it's sharp looking and you did a great job wrapping it.

Thanks a lot...you will see in the video my wrap is not perfect in some sppts. I would like to see up close how well a pro can do it

Awesome job sir! Hadn't really considered wrapping the MIC top, but seeing it done has got me thinking. Thanks for sharing!

Looks great!

Can't wait to spy you in the burgh one day!

Very nice work & thanks for sharing!

Those creases can be improved with some additional finesse and heat. The 3M 2080 film is very forgiving and the air release layer makes installation easier than other types of film.

@Timinpgh let me know if you want me to cut a set of old skool hockey stripes for you - on the house (if you provide the material).
