<DIV>I think all of the recent suggestions on inside the canopy painat are good.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>An optional thought - before paint, put vinyl lettering with reverse sticky side</DIV>
<DIV>inside the canopy with Pilot name, AMA number, whatever. Black vinyl, and</DIV>
<DIV>then siliver paint is my perference.</DIV>

<DIV>I used Tamiya PS-31 Smoke on<FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> the inside of </FONT> my Venus II<FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> canopy</FONT>. 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.<FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Went on easy and looked great.<BR><BR>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.<BR></FONT></DIV>
