Painting inside of hardtop

So my hardtop has a carpet in it and I do not like it. It's all gross from the previous owner plus I like the white interior more.

How should I go about pulling the carpet off, it won't just pull off because it is glued in very well.

After I get that off, what prep should I do? Some paint thinner to get the excess glue off? Or what?

Then, once it's all clean, should I just spray the paint or should I sand or what all should I do?


Thank you!

I don't have any suggestions on removing the carpet and glue, but I painted the inside of hard top satin black about 4 years ago and all did was wash it and dry it, then sprayed it...I've not had any problems with it coming off and it sets outside under the deck from March till November.

The best pic I can find right now.

I painted the inside of my hard top black. I used Rustoleum Universal satin black. Came out great. No peeling or chipping. I cleaned the inside good, then wiped it down with 3M wax and residue remover. I then sprayed it with Adhesion Promoter then a few light coats of the satin black. Changes the whole look inside the cab. I have pics in my build thread.
