Change of plans for me...
I decided Im sticking to Factory Red Rock Crystal Pearl...
Exterior and Interior. Not a big fan of WHITE for all interiors, they paint the door interiors...
So I just ordered three more cans of the color match from O'Reilly's i mentioned above.
I also contacted the Tractor supply company about providing sound/insulation roll for I think 168 plus 20 for adhesion spray...
First, I will make some cardboard cut outs/ Templates for Insulation cut from roll to match interior contours...
Second, I will flip top upside down so I can access the interior of the roof.
I will mask off the windows and spray the interior where the Insulation will not be present with a slight overlap into the areas that will be insulated.
Next I will install the insulation, then flip top over after about five hours of drying time.
On the exterior coat there are a couple of options.
If you want a Textured look you can use the Trunk/underlining spray and make a couple of passes...
Then coat with top coat of color of choice. This should provide a slight textured look, with your color if different than black.
As far as clear coat. If you are off roading a lot you may not want to do that so you can simply spray touch up...
However, if it were me, I would spend the extra time with clear coat and sand lightly for touch ups when applying a top coat then re clear coat.
Even if used for off road. You can sand lightly in a small area, paint then make sure to go larger with clear and you will prevent Fad a lot plus dulling from normal weather....
These are only my opinions. I am not a professional.
But Lets see how well mine tunrs out in three weeks from now when I return home to do my interior in Red Rock and insulate, then complete the outside in Red Rock also...
I figure Ill get on of the following out of my attempt.

The last foot note I can add,
Go with more coats rather than just enough...
When you look at spray paint its the same as any other paint, the more coats the deeper the shine. I knew a guy back in high school used 12 cans of Gloss Black on a New TA he pulled decals off the bottom of his ground effects, he used 12 cans and you could not tell from the factory at all...you had to look very close to even see a tape line. He then wet sanded and clear coated and it totally blended well.
When you look at a spray job, usually you will see Blotching and dull / Shinny areas...
Add more paint a couple of more coats will make a huge difference...
See for your self. Also remember light coats cross hatching makes for best effects.
12-14 inches back and helps prevents runs...
