[NSRCA-discussion] Canopy paint Option

[ronlock at comcast.net]

I think all of the recent suggestions on inside the canopy painat are good.

An optional thought - before paint, put vinyl lettering with reverse sticky side
inside the canopy with Pilot name, AMA number, whatever.   Black vinyl, and
then siliver paint is my perference.

I used Tamiya PS-31 Smoke on the inside of  my Venus II canopy.  It gives the appearance of a tinted window.  More coats, and it gets darker.  It is made for Lexan RC car bodies, and was recommended to me over the Pactra product by my hobbyshop as an easier to apply product.  Went on easy and looked great.

One guy in our club used black paint on the inside of his Venus canopy.  Got so hot, it distorted.  The tint I used doesn't seem to do that.

Hi flyers 
 
I am about to finish a Venus II and would like to paint the inside of the canopy black, gray, or other appropriate color. Any paint recommendations? I do not want to turn the canopy into a ball of melted plastic.
