Hi All,



I'm looking for recomendations for covering the top of the glare shield on 

my RV-7A slider.  I'm looking for something that will keep reflections on 

the windscreen to a minimum.  I've heard of using textured black vinyl, but 

I'm leaning more towards flat black paint to keep weight down.  Probably a 

PPG product since it matches the primer I have and it's what I used on my 

interior.  Any recommendations on what worked (or didn't work) for you would 

be much appreciated.

I have used flat black paint in a rattle can in all the planes that I 

have built and it works just fine. Paint the deck before installing the 

plexi, it's a whole lot easier.

I just bought from a local fabric store, a piece of black, felt like

material.

Cutted to fit, and spray can of adhesive, to  install..

looks nice, feels nice and no reflexion..



Some people use, black vinyl,, that is good too...



Much better than paint....

_*Don't use black vinyl!*_ The sun will heat it up and the vinyl esters 

will come out of it and eventually cause your plexi glass to craze. 

Paint it flat back. Cloth will hold a lot of dirt and dust and make more 

work for you keeping it clean.



Cheers

Bert,

Have you had the felt stuff on for long?  Felt seems like it would snag and 

or nub up from sliding stuff on the dash.  I tend to put things like my 

headset or kneeboard on the dash at the beginning and end of the flight.  Or 

at least I do in rental planes.  Have you had any troubles like this?

Greg
