    My doors and hinges are white. I prefer when stock but I have seen photos of Jeep with Meyers hard top all grey, or other colors.
    It is just painting... but it must be well done.
    These are my doors, waiting for help to be fixed for winter.

    I guess I'm the rogue. I like them painted. Leave the rest white. Do a matching green pinstripe just a above the drip edge at the top.

    i like them all white, personally i think they look better a different color than the body. i plan to paint my jeep red with a light tan top like Kman's here on the forum.

    That' really amazing video, I suppose hospital is cheap in iceland.

    About painting, it is better as it is, but you should ask a professionnal designer, there a lot to do.

    This is my Jeep, with agood Meyer hard top, many painting possibility exist and you can make tests with a computer program, something like photoshop. All in the same color is good, I have seen one. But it is your choice.

    Painting the bottom half makes it look like the early Bronco. Leave it white.

    Did yall think the Jeep in the Clarkson video has a wood top? I did

    Normally I would say leave it white, but looking at the pics Tomatolane posted I would say the one on the bottom is the best looking one of the 3.

    I think the last one is a Koeniq. I have a half cab and the doors look pretty similar. Not sure though

    I like the top white also, I live in Texas so it would also help a lot with heat

    Actually I change my mind - I think that is a DJ top with a window installed

    The last pic Tomatolane posted is a factory hard top. I forget the brand, maybe a Kelly? A customer has one. I've seen literature on them as well as a factory offering.
