Painting t-bar glass?

[HughesR1]

I was wondering if anyone had ever colour coded their t-bar roofs? I love T-bars when the roof is off but not a fan of the black looking roof on a red car etc.

I'm sure with the correct preparation (Grit paper/etch prime, thin coats and laquer etc) you could colour code the roof, or even vinyl wrap it.

Tempted to buy some cheap t-bars and give it a shot!

I would vinyl wrap it

Paint will just come off.

If you want it to look like the bodywork why not buy the carbon fibre or fgp replacement ones? You could prep and spray these properly whilst also saving weight.

I think carbenfibrecreations does them

Painting glass is not a great idea... you could get away with vinyl wrap or tinting the glass but quite how this would look I have no idea...

it's been done before(think it was on mr2oc) and turned out like sh*t, paint doesn't key well to glass, as suggested, wrap it or get carbon ones

wrap it, paint wont last im sure

Tint it and respray the rest of the roof black? I've never seen painted T-bars that look any good...

You can get a additive that goes in the paint which enables you to paint glass but u will have to lacquer it as it will scratch off with washing etc

Vinyl wrap or carbon t bar panels.

Paint won't last long on glass.

Looks like I will have to try and find some decent quality red vinyl!

Fibreglass is a good call
