Focus Canopy Painting

[GeorgeF.]

I've painted the inside of canopies pure black (not tinted) and never had 
one melt or deform in anyway.  I use to take black Sig Dope and brush the 
inside of the canopy.  From the outside of the canopy it shines as if it 
were molded black and brush marks wouldn't show as the outside clear 
plastic acted as a clearcoat without the mess....
