Based on the solution, I'd like to ask a question. Why an earth people use any other paint then the exact same Nextel Schempp and others use? I mean, it's a very expensive toy, and you will stare at your panel a foot away every time you fly it. Are you sure panel paint is the best place to save some money or effort?


Well, I will tell you why. Nextel unfortunately reflects on a canopy quite badly. Yes, it should not reflect according to the manufacturer, but it does. My next glider will not have Nextel paint.


For that reason I bought this:

and I am quite happy with the result. I find any reflections on the canopy very annoying, especially when watching videos taken in flight.
