Are the Freedom Top panels painted black, or are they molded in that color, and painted white underneath? Just curious if the White Cap top is painted or otherwise. I was thinking about the White Cap package, since a black top in Phoenix is asking for swamp-a$$. I was thinking, maybe just strip the paint off the top and expose the white, then coat it with some clear coat or protectant...

You’re going to want to paint it not just expose the fiberglass and clearcoat. It’ll last a lot longer with a good coating of automotive paint that can withstand the UV you get in Phoenix. It’ll look better too.

Might try a "wrap" on top.
One guy here left about 2" around the edges on his black cheap, and painted the center white, standing next to you don't see it but if you're up a bit you see it, but I could understood why he painted it like that - we live in the Desert too so gets warm... I just take my top off.
