Acme restoration.

[STSFCTN]

I bought a full ACME hardtop from a member here in the Denver area. It was under a few pine trees for a few years and needed quite a bit of fiberglass work. I was going to re-gel coat it but the family thought it would look good black so I decided to Raptor Line it. It came out to patchy between coats and the lines on the top were washed away so I painted it today.

I used Omni single stage and they matched the color to the sun visor color. It looks gray in the photo but once it is outside it really is a tan or spice like the interior.

I will post pics once I get the top on and as you can see in the pic I need to restore the full doors next.

So you tried black and didn't like it, so went back to tan?

Nice work! Can't wait to see it on the 8......

Well it was originally a light cream after cleaning and sanding. I had a lot of fiberglass repair on the back edges and around the driver's door. I finally ended up with a darker tan.

New to me top on. Just need to pull the windshield frame back and adjust everything. Plan on painting the full doors next.

After having the top on for just a few months I sold the top and half doors to a member here on the forum. I had the YJ doors and the TJ uppers. I really loved the top, and the amount of work I put into,it but I feel that I will drive it more with the option to lay down the soft top on sunny days. The Acme top I restored is really a great top, but it went to a good home.
