I'm making final decisions in the painting scheme of my -9A and I'm 

strugling with a particular decision: the color to apply on the fwd upper 

deck, just forward of the (slider canopy) fixed windshield.

On one hand, I think it should be white, in order to reflect the sun and 

avoid creating heat down, where the vast majority of avionics and electric 

instruments are installed.

OTOH, it should be black, in order to avoid geting sun reflection to the 

pilots eyes.

What everybody thinks about this dilemma?

Carlos:

It´s very important to think about sun reflexions in the pilots eyes. In my -9A I´ve 

covered the upper panel with a light brown color fabric (corine) and the results are very 

bad. The sun reflexions in my eyes oblied me to cover it with a black towel.

Some of brasilians -9A use a dark plastic film glued at inside part of canopy. It reduces 

the heat and brightnness inside the canopy.

Someone recommended flat black spackle spray (forget the company that makes

it) that is used on the inside of auto trunks.  It looks good and is REALLY

flat non-reflective black with little flecks of grey.  While I haven't

flown yet, everything is painted and I have "tested it outside and I think

it will work as well as a black cloth.

Hi JC



Good to hear from you. Now in portuguese language.



Obrigado pela resposta

Eu estou-me referindo à parte exterior à frente do vidro do canopy, e não à 

parte interior. Na parte interior eu já comprei (na Cleaveland Tools) um 

tecido preto próprio para forrar, juntamente com uma borracha preta para o 

topo da chapa sobre o painel de instrumentos.

A minha dúvida é na parte exterior à frente do vidro, entre o pára-brisas e 

a carenagem do motor.

Mine is a slider as well. I painted the dash flat black and the  

forward skin and cowl is white. I have had no problems with glare and  

I think the white surface keeps the heat in check.

Since it is a 'Turtle deck', might I suggest you paint the logo of the University of Maryland?

   

  Fear the turtle, baby!!!
