I was planning on having the exterior paint lap over the plexiglass on the windows to hide the sins on the inside of the glass. Recently, a local “expert” implied that paint on plexiglass was a no-go. What’s the straight dope?

My paint goes on to the plexi and I don’t think I’ve seen a RV-10 yet that doesn’t have it that way (however, I’ve been wrong before in my observations). The paint is sticking great, however I am having issues where the plexi/cabin meet with cracks in the paint.

I have painted numerous windows on several aircraft with no problems except that on the upper part of the windscreen in rain it will peal back some if you are above 150 knots. I solve that with the clear urethane tape. Normal prep by sanding and alcohol cleaning advised. Logic tells you though not to flood the plexi with paint as the excess solvent is problematic. I spray a thin coat on first and let that dry as a barrier then paint normally.

I used PPG's black epoxy primer on the inside of my RV8 windshield. It is also on the canopy hiding the front support bow. The RV8 is now 8 years old and 800+ hours. The epoxy has not peeled off or crack the windshield. I plan on doing the same thing on my RV10.
