I thought I would share my before and after pictures. I painted my hardtop to match the body color and replaced stock fenders with Rubicon fenders (they are one inch wider than stock). I decided to replicate (for the most part) the 60th anniversary edition since mine is a 2001 and is the right color (silverstone metallic). That involved finding used sahara rocker trim (which I sourced from two different wrecked jeeps) and then painting it to match an installing with double sided tape as opposed to drilling several holes into the body of my jeep like the originals do. I did use the same mounting bolts on the underside of the jeep for that trim as the metal tabs were already on my jeep. Total job probably took me around 12-15 hours of work. Most of that time spent sanding and prep before painting. I used base coat clear coat Nason brand paint which is a Dupont product that I had used once before. I was very pleased with the result. Hint to anyone painting the fenders, be sure to remove all the factory paint (yes the Rubicon fenders have factory paint) and do not use any solvent whatsoever as the plastic could absorb it and could cause serious adhesion problems with the paint. I got all my advice from the local automotive paint store (True Auto Paint in Merriam, KS). Those guys are awesome and I could not have done it without them. Their advice was to throughly clean the fenders with comet or bon-ami and water and a green pad. The other critical item when painting plastic is to use the plastic adhesion promoter which comes in a spray can. I ended up using that and then a sealer coat and then base coat, then clear coat. I followed the coating, flash times, and dry times between products per the tech sheet on each product which you can find on the Dupont website. The hardtop is fiberglass so they told me to just treat it like I would metal as it "likes" to be painted. Just a lot of wet sanding by hand with 220 grit to get all the textured finish off and make it smooth. I used a rubber pad with the sandpaper. I then sprayed 3 coats of primer/surfacer to help smooth it as well. After primer I sanded again with finer grit (I think it was 400 or 600) and then applied base coat and clear coat. Hope these hints help other people who are considering painting their fenders or hardtop.
