Top paint

[Tom Vogel]

They finally put the color coat on the top yesterday. Been quite a wait, but it is pretty much flawless. I cant wait to get it on the Jimmy and see how it looks with the top on. Its been probably 10years.. lol.

Wow, looks great!

[ArmyMech71]

That thing looks sweet!!

[Chulisohombre]

Looks brand new. Sweet. My top is pretty junky to do anything like that. It would need a lot of love first. I just taped mine off and spraypainted it with outdoor latex paint. Held up pretty good and looks decent. Yours is definitely in great shape.

Yea.... NOW its in great shape

I'm sure some work went into it. I wasn't doughting that part. I'm sure it wasn't cheap. They charge us a grand to fix and repaint our hoods on our Volvo tractors at the place my company uses.

That looks very clean. Just be very careful that you don't flex it too much. The paint will crack very easy. Just ask me how I know

How did you flex it that much!

[Jdubs71]

I hauled it on my trailer and lagged it down to the bed to keep from having straps mess up the new paint. My trailer didn't flex but i noticed a crack in the paint when i got home about 250 miles later. Me and a buddy unloaded it and it was kind of a pita for 2 guys and it flexed on us. I didn't have as nice of a job done so maybe that will be the difference.

Nice, it looks like a single wall right? Where did you have the work done and did you fix any breaks or cracks?

[Tom Vogel]

Yup... single wall. Painted at Classic Coach werks in Atascadero, Ca. All smoothed and cracks fixed. Just picked it up this morning and put it on the Jimmy.

[Blazerowner]

I want to do the same to mine. I have a buddy who does glass work so it's on the agenda. I have a single wall as well and just picked up some sliding side windows for it today. Was it pricey to have the work done?

[QUOTE= Was it pricey to have the work done?[/QUOTE]

OY! But I was just lucky to find someone local that would do it and do it right. Im just glad its done.

Pics on the truck?

[Jdubs71]

Blazerowner look at the before and after pics in by build thread of my top. The top is not nearly as nice as Tom's but is was reasonable considering the amount of work. The guy is close to you up in Orangevale. I'll see if I can find his contact info if interested.

Don't be. It's all good.

[Blazerowner]

I would take some info if you find it.

[american revolution]

also interested in contact in orangevale to redo top if he is still doing this type of work

[Jdubs71]

Hey guys sorry I slaked on this. The guys name is Don Pasch. Im not sure if the contact info is still good or not as it has been over a year since I dealt with him. Here is the phone number an email address I have for him.

Here is my disclaimer: Do not use this guy if you are looking for a show quality job. My top was in bad shape and he brought it back to life. Idid not pay the $5000 someone quoted me to fix it, not even close. It was a fair price for a decent job. He knows fiberglass however I think my top was the first one he had worked on. I hope this helps.
