Guys



Questions for those of you who didn't upholster the glare-shield of your -10:



Which colour did you paint the upper surface of your glare-shield?



And which colour, if different, did you paint the under part of the glare-shield which protrudes above the instrument panel?



And by the way, when in the building process did you paint these 2 surfaces?



TIA

Carlos

Carlos,

    I went with flat black, trusty Rust-Oleum if I remember correctly. It’s been 9 1/2 years with no issues whatsoever and no problem with glare either.  I painted the bottom white to match my instrument panel.  I painted it after installation but before putting the windshield in.  



If you are going to put any cooling fans in the glare shield I recommend you make the cutouts before installing, I know it’s a bit of a pain to do them later on   One or two computer cooling fans helps with cooling the avionics as well as being a natural defogger.



Have fun,

Marcus

Flat black.

I painted mine the same color (colour) as my instrument panel .... 
	


rust-oleum # 7223 sandstone,  It's in the 'textured' area.  I painted my 

tunnel cover and the overhead plenum the same color.

I painted the glareshield before I riveted on the fwd upper fuse, just 
	


before I installed the cabin top and windshield.  I painted the aft 

underside two weeks ago because my first attempt peeled .... probably 

poor prep on my part.  Lots of masking tape and paper since the interior 

was already painted.

Linn .... painting the FG parts .... white.

Flat black, probably Rustoleum, but don't really remember. Underside same tan as panel. Cut openings for vent fans prior to paint and windshield installation. 850 hours and 7 1/2 years later it is still looking good

I got some dashboard material from Cleveland and it works great.  You just

glue it in.  Also got the trim piece from them.



Attached a picture....not a great one.  I did this after the wind screen was

in.

I used a spray on, black bed liner product from a local auto parts store.Put on several coats till the can was gone.  Zero glare or windscreen reflection as well as non-slip.  Tough as nails.Dave LeikamN89DA
