: Painting the Roof
SOLITUDE 05-14-2007, 06:24 AM So like so many other ZJ's, my paint on the roof is peeling off like paper flakes. I'm considering getting it Line-X'ed right down the middle, just between the crossbars, front windshield to rear liftgate.
Do you guys see any adverse effects to doing this? I know it's going to absorb a lot of heat being painted black. Your thoughts?
Zj95Maxx 05-14-2007, 10:01 AM Mine doesnt flake
Guess thats because my clearcorners condition my jeep every night with ultra high sensitive protective lube :pirate:
sciron4x4 05-14-2007, 10:08 AM Alright Maxx... I just now realized that in your sig pic, the clear corner is blingin. Is this the corner doing it's job at protecting paint?
CrawlerReady 05-14-2007, 10:25 AM Mine doesn't flake either, it's gotta be those clear corners.... :lol:
Back on topic though, I don't think it would be a bad idea, maybe a little tougher to keep clean (I know my herculiner is) but I don't think it will absorb too much more heat, I mean you're ZJ is already dark blue.

Alright so it looks like the roof is getting painted.... Possibly tonight.
CrawlerReady 05-14-2007, 11:34 AM Hey now, I gave you my opinion! I even said....Now back ON TOPIC haha
SOLITUDE 05-14-2007, 11:38 AM haha I know. sorry, that was referring to maxx.
Zj95Maxx 05-14-2007, 11:40 AM you sanding it down?
SOLITUDE 05-14-2007, 11:47 AM yeah. But not down to bare metal all over. I'm going to sand the bad spots where it's peeling and just kind of scuff up the rest.
CrawlerReady 05-14-2007, 11:49 AM Yeah I was gonna say to make sure you prep it good enough, you don't want to spend the time doing this just to have it start peeling again

i noticed that same affect on my friends zj.

SOLITUDE 06-18-2007, 09:31 PM Done and Done..... turned out great. I ended up sanding down pretty much the whole roof. I had one Uh-oh. The painters tape I used ended up peeling off some paint that I wanted to keep.... O well, just means more of the roof is gonna get painted. :mrgreen: I'll upload pics soon.
Zj95Maxx 06-19-2007, 08:16 AM Now, do it, pics
Killer Cougar 06-22-2007, 05:17 PM yeah lets see some pics. I am going to have to paint mine here soon.
SOLITUDE 06-22-2007, 10:51 PM It was raining here and this is the only shot I have for right now, got it while pumping some gas..... I have a few before shots but the are my friends camera and I need to pick up a cord for his camera to hook it up to my comp.
