Anyone Painted their T-tops?

As the title states, I was wondering if anyone has painted their T-tops? If so what kind of paint did you use? How many coats? Should I just leave them alone? Mine are starting to fade in small areas but It bothers me with my dark windows.

Thanks

Re: Anyone Painted their T-tops?

Painting the metal part is a good idea, it looks good. Painting the lexan ones looks alright too, gives a hardtop look. Im assuming you paint them like the rest of your body? primer and clear too?
