Not a lady, but here goes. Those panels flex when you open and close the roof. They are a composite and I'm not sure how well any paint will adhere to then and what would happen when you open and close over time. Maybe sheet that has an adhesive back. Never read a post concerning this. You are the first. jdI am a potential buyer of a hawk shell model. But the black end panels are so awful looking! I want to.paint them before I even start... any ideas how? I want to.go all light colors inside. Thanks if you have any thoughts!

Or look for an ATC - I think all of the panels have the wood imprint on them. At least our Ocelot does.

Plasti-Dip comes in a lot of colors and is very flexible. You can get basic colors at Home Depot I think, but you would probably have to order a "girly" color. People use it for "dipping" cars/trucks for a relatively cheap paint job that lasts a little while. Its also used for dipping the handles of tools to give them that nice rubbery handle like Channelocks have. Not sure if it would work on the composite panels, but I don't see why it wouldn't.

I'm always trying to think of some way to improve the interior aesthetics. Funny, the black panels never bothered me at all. If you have ideas about improving other aspects of the interior, would love to hear/see them.

Do we know the new lift panel material? That is critical to knowing what will adhere to them and what won't.
How about curtains in front of the panels?

Hi! it is called Thermo-lite 4. Possibly we can just paint it, if the paint will adhere. Not sure if curtains would get caught in the folding mechanism. I could velcro them up and remove them each time I close it, though. Thanks!
