It amazes me that 3 years into Bronco production, Ford still can't provide a color matched top direct from the factory.

Yes, I’m really disappointed that the modular hardtop is still not available.

They did some tests, I saw one myself in Florida. The humidity makes the paint come off. It's why ford did that weird press release saying they would replace the tops affected by humidity. They did the same thing and had PPG consult on it. The top subcontractor said it can't be painted because the material has a mold resistant property that outgasses the stuff he is saying he had to add an adhesion promotion to is the uv coating. Under that is a mold inhibitor. The color is molded into it, not dyed. I worked in thermal plastics as an engineer, this will either come off or mold really rapidly if you get rid of the coating, the adhesion promoter will also make it brittle because it will dry out the top layer of the coating.

Nice job! You can do the same with the textured flares also. I go with 180 first, then adhesion promoter followed by epoxy primer. Block down and couple coats of 2k primer and block again and ready for paint. Love the double booth.

Are you going to make a video showing the finished hardtop and fenders on the bronco?! 🤩🤩

Wow, that is a super nice paint job bro, I had the hardtop on my four-door bronco painted gloss. Black looks great but I didn’t have the texture taken out unfortunately. I had the hardtop on my wife’s two door bronco painted metallic gray, but once again, didn’t take the texture out I really wish I would have. I had her fender flares, painted metallic gray also and had the texture taken out and they look super!!! Great job 👍🏾👍🏾

Amazing job Kandy Man, you must have put a lot of hours into the prep on the hardtop but it looks so much better than the texture finish which I don't like. Sorry to ask but do you have a code for the green if possible? I love that colour, thanks K Man👏👌👍John UK
