I am about ready to install the windscreen.  What have  some of you done to hide the layup at the bottom of the windscreen that would be  visible from inside the airplane.

  

 I know one possibility is tinting the resin black or another  dark color.  What about painting the inside surface of the Plexiglas?   Does anyone know of an appropriate paint that will not damage the  Plexiglas?

  

 Have others done something else?

  

 Thanks

I know of an RV-8 builder that used electrical tape on the inside - looks good too.



Unless you know exactly the width of the offending layup, you may paint too much or too little...and that's after finding a paint that won't eat the plexi.

You can paint the inside and match the edge from the outside.  You can also not paint the inside and order Oregon Aero's glare-shield piece and it pretty much hides everything.

The plans call for painting the first three inches of the inside of the windshield.  Thats what I did with the same paint I used on the interior.  I masked off the rest of the windshield, roughed up the plexi, then primed and and painted.  I used a light grey for the interior and it looks ok on the perimeter of the inside.

Someone on our field painted an area around the  bottom of his windscreen black and it turned out great.

Hey Froggy

 I bought a can of flat black from Michael's craft  store and cut off a corner for testing. Did not see any distortions, but it  would peel easy, so I took the lay-ups that Vans recommends, and placed them  minus the epoxy on the screen to get the paint to line. Then I taped from that  line up a couple of inches on the inside and roughed it up with 120 grit,  cleaned it up, then kept spraying coats of paint until the lines went away, came  out real nice, then I used Ricks trick to hide the fillet at the bottom, he used  a nice Nylon rope to fill the tope of the gap, that way you can remove it and  the bugs at a future date. I found out about Dana's trick on the black tint to  late to put it in, but that would have worked to.
