I have to put a new top on my 2-door and a headliner the outside also needs painting and I am wondering which order to do things. Any thoughts would be appreciated, thanks. Jack

Paint work first, then the top, followed by the headliner.

I think you will find those that know will suggest, paint, top, headliner. Have fun with your project.

Primer, bows, top then paint I think?, headliner last. I know I used some heavy plastic to cover the top but why I can't remember, :-( , maybe for painting.
