Default C4 glass roof panel

Does anyone know if you can paint the tinted glass roof panel on a
95 C4? I hate the heat from the sun through that thing, and I think the painted one looks much better anyway.
Thanks,
JG

Might be easier to find someone to trade with for a painted top...
Where are you located and the color of your 95?

No need to paint or replace your roof panel. Get one of these.

My car is Torch Red, and I am near Kansas City, MO. Would love to trade.

My old smoked top was painted long ago. It's now gloss black. Holding up well and looks like a fiberglass top. And, lots cooler.

I saw a strange one years back when I was originally looking for a C4. The car I looked at was admiral blue and from the outside it appeared to have an admiral blue fiberglass top (matched the rest of the exterior perfectly. I got inside and saw that the top was, in fact, transparent. You could see right through it to the outside. I have no idea what is was painted with.

^^^ Could have been a blue tint Targa Top? That was an option too other than bronze.

Nope, it was the same admiral blue as the car.

I have a blue tint top on my C4 so I'm familiar with how it looks.

I would find a nice fiberglass top on CL or Fleabay, paint it to your body color, and then sell the glass top you have now to recoup your monies.
