Painting our Jeep Hardtop with Lizardskin Ceramic Insulation //^\\ Easy Jeep Mod?

What's up Forged Nation! If you are a Current or former JL/JT owner, you know that the look of the interior of your hardtop is...Gross. It looks like the inside of a cooler. There's a ton of aftermarket liners and patches out there, but we wanted to do something better than slapping a maxi-pad on it... Lol.
Would you like to take home the keys to Zeus + $10,000? Well, just so happens that we're giving this setup away. Enter to win Zeus at HTTP://www.forged4x4.com.
Our master mechanic in the shop mentioned using Lizardskin as a potential solution. I had never heard of it, but apparently Restomod car guys use it all the time to decrease road noise and insulate the car. After doing some research and calling Lizardskin we realized their ceramic insulation was a no-brainer.
Not only is it going to shield you from those hot summer days, but we noticed that it does reduce road noise as well.
The project consisted of a couple of short steps:
*Hardtop Removal - Super easy, all tools included with any JL/JT
*Masking Hardtop - Making sure to cover everything that you don't want paint on.
*Hook up the Lizardskin Sprayer to an air compressor and adjust flow
*Spray a coat working a wet edge throughout.
*Wait an hour for it to dry, apply another coat.
We are pumped on how it turned out! It looks fantastic, has NO SMELL and was a fairly easy and straightforward job. To check the product out yourself go to lizardskin.com/

This is great. And it needed to be like this from the factory.

This is my ticket to freedom, independence and safety

[@chriswhite9086]

Did it make an actual difference in the interior temps? Summer? Winter? How much material did y'all use for freedom tops and hard top?

[@Forged4x4]

Absolutely; temps were probably ~10 degrees cooler with the lizard skin applied in the direct heat during the summer here in Cali. Used about 1 1/2 of the sprayer bottle.

Sweet idea!! Much better than the original white 😎

It looks amazing! Conroe Tx

Can’t wait to win this and bring it home to Alaska!

[@Forged4x4]

He'd look good in Alaska!

[@davidl8459]

Did you test to see the difference in temperature before and after?

[@Forged4x4]

Not a scientific test but we definitely noticed a distinct difference when out in the sun!

[@OwlManSam]

The hype is real

[@lydiad.c.4184]

Nice job on Zeus !! I'm planning on doing same mod inside my 4 door JL, what quantity of Lizardskin did you use for two coats ?? Thanks

[@arturoluna8791]

I love this concept of mad black 🖤 I hope I can win this one

[@ragerabbit33]

Did you guys use any kind of black paint in this process? Most videos I see leaves it a gray color. Yours came out black. What did you use?

[@nickjacques6087]

That looks great! I would love to do that on the interior of a van. I know I could do that myself, but rather have a professional do it. Is there anyone out there with experience that applies lizard skin to the inside of the van for both sound deadening and insulation?

[@Forged4x4]

Hey Nick! Most paint shops can handle it for sure. Super easy to apply and handle!

[@98heritage]

Any plastic adhesion needed before paint?

[@Forged4x4]

Nope! Just some blue tape around the edges

[@robbunch8121]

How much disassembly was required for the hardtop hardware or did you guys just tape everything off? I am wanting to do this to my jlu and would be curious if i'd need to remove my rear window and also how much material Id need for a well covered 4dr hardtop. Thanks in advance.

[@Forged4x4]

Hey Rob! Not much at all. No need to remove the window, just tape it off. Get some construction paper to cover all the windows and tape the edges. It took a couple of hours to mask it off, and then after that we were all set! Let us know if you have any other questions!

[@justthegoodlife]

How many gallons would you recommend for this exact same job?

[@rodrigocubedo9081]

Did you ever find out?

[@98heritage]

I would like to know this too.

[@fatboy601000]

comin to my house!
