Just paint it base clear with the rest of the car and rough it up with scotchbrite or fine sandpaper before installing the top.

I can't wait to see the post were a "Mopar" guy/gal paints the car inside and out, top to bottom, engine bay, trunk, jambs, underside, hardtop or vinyl roof car, regardless of what gets covered up/over with trim, upholstrey etc,etc with the same "stage" of paint .....I've been painting cars for 30 years,.....and I'm amazed at the "Mopar mismash" of painting panels off the car, different "stages" of paint used in jambs, engine bays, trunks.... .....I don't get it?,...is it a $$$ factor?

Yeah, we're all really cheap.... Any paint under the vinyl top has to be better than what the factory did.. Just lay down a couple full wet coats so it's well sealed.... Paint it Pink, it'll be worth more..

Why bother with the base, just clear right over the primer. Single stage without needing to get something else.
Well, that would certainly work, but I just figured it was simpler to tell them to paint the whole car without trying to treat certain areas differently.......your car; your choices - mine got painted EVERYWHERE in base/clear.
