Are the hard tops that are color matched, painted their color or made their color? I mangled my white hard top and will need to buy a new one. The body shop believes they have to buy one and then paint it white.

They are painted. Mopar offers a primered top
ready for paint.

They are correct. Whoever told you it was fixable in that other thread hasn’t worked on a Jeep hardtop before. I’d recommend you lineX the new one instead of painting it. Makes it far more resilient

Just sold my 2015 Wrangler. Currently I have a 2018 BMW X3 (wife's), a 2015 BMW F800GS (trying to sell this bike), and a 2019 BMW R1200 GS.

How much did it cost you to LineX the top?

Is it better to line-x a black top, an unpainted top or a body color top?
Is the body color white top painted or just the raw top like the interior finish?
IF you want a wayout colored top - can you order it from the factory as a Gobi body color top on a Gator Gladiator?
