[NSRCA-discussion] Canopy paint

[Jerry Wilson]

I used Tamiya PS-38 Translucent Blue.  Took about four coats to get the
opaqueness to suit me.  But came out looking like a darkly tinted window.

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.
