Question about Freedom Top color

[Setec641A]

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.

I have considered this since we spend a good deal of time in the southwest. Just wondering how well it will hold up. I am not current on the options, but I have seen old vinyl that cracks and the adhesive destroyed the paint underneath from baking in the sun.

@LoneWolfUSMC that could be, I'd talk to a good shop, I'd see the vinyl as a temp move to see if it makes much difference before going through the paint prep and expense.

I was also considering white or light gray truck bed liner. It would likely be the most durable and easy to touch up.

Light Gray FTW!!!!! Because white is just basic.
