my t tops are painted black.. origionally because of acid rain damage.. thought it would be a temporary fix until i got new ones.. but it looks really good (ill post a pic later) its GM medium gloss spray paint.. you can get it at wal mart.. but it looks really cool from inside, it makes it a black mirror to the interior.. but my question is.. the paint comes off really easy because its on glass.. (they are actually the lexan tops) what can i do to get the paint to bond better so it dosent scratch off at the slightest touch? sand the paint off and rough up the glass a little? or is there some kind of treatment i can use? and the car will be all black here pretty soon, and im gonna get them repainted with the same color black, but i still want the paint to bond. id appreciate any feedback

 

Yeah you should rough up the glass first and it shoud stick! Can't wait to see the pics!

 

the only reason i was a little reluctant to do that was because i thought it might mess up the cool mirror effect on the inside. you think that would work though?

 

Yeah just rough up the glass a little bit. i want to see pics!

 

I'll have to see pics of this! Sounds like it would only work on a black car!

I'd say rough it up and test paint an area. Should work!

 

I agree....my curiosity has been piqued. Pictures are definitely required!

 

thats crazy. mad props to you:hail: i never woulda thought of that. if it looks really good, ill do it when i get the beast painted. mirror effect, eh? sounds pretty cool.

 

yeah it does.. theres snow on the ground and i have it stabled.. but there will be pics tommorow.. it looks good guys i appreciate the interest

 

these are both a little older.. just to give ya some background.. icons are z28 now, and you can see the new hood.. ill get a pic of the t tops tommorow

 

AAAAHH stop taunting us and show us the pics already!!

 

go buy some scotch brite pads at an automotive paint store for roughing up you T's. They can be bought in different textures

 

gotta see pics man

 

Someone has done this on their bird. They recently had it painted and they had their Lexan tops painted the body color at the body shop. It looks interesting its like a sunset orange bird or a similar color. The guy said he has a second pair of glass tops anyways in case he gets tired of the look. I thought it looked good, I think it was on the appearance board about a week or so ago.

 

why not paint your back window to match the car too.

 

here we go fellas.. finally

 

outside

 

front.. a new front gfx is in the works

 

i dont think its legal to not be able to see out the back window

 

yeah it is. At least here it is. As long as the cops can see in your side windows your cool.

The t tops look great! makes me wanna paint my back window.
