TR6 TR6 windshield paint color

[MarkT]

All,

I've got the winshield prepped and ready for painting, and now a little doubt has seeded in my mind.....

Is semi-flat or glossy black the right color???? I think it's the semi-flat; I'm sure I've seen something on here before, but for the life of me I cant find it.

Thanks,
Mark

The windshield should be clear...hehehe

Painting the windshield black makes it hard to see. I agree with yankeeTr , it should be left clear.
Now if your talking about the frame, semi-gloss, or satin black is the color of choice.

Ho and, if you will, ha! Ok, teach me not to read things over: windshield frame!

Thanks..

Use Krylon Semi-Flat Black, usually available at WalMart and other fine stores. Krylon paint is a top-qualtiy paint. Same paint can be used on the Kamm back.

Exactly what I've used. Excellent paint.

I used a Krylon semi gloss

Satin and semi gloss are pretty much the same thing (between gloss and flat) based on the brand.

If it is off the car I suggest you powder coat it. Never have to worry about rust and those nasty bugs can be scrubbed off with out worry to the paint.

when I had mine out, sand blasted the windscreen frame, primed with a 2 part epoxy primer, and since I had some 2 part gloss black, thats what it got. it looks good to me

I used matte black when I asked the shop to paint mine.

Used Krylon Semi-flat per recommendation on the
net and I think it looks good. Had it removed and
sand blasted first. Seems to be holding up well to the
bugs, etc.
