He's on site from time to time. Maybe he'll post a pic. It looked really good too.Earlier this spring I noticed my old "Rifle" windshield started showing signs of age (11 years) with stress cracks just above the cross mounting bar. So, I ordered a new "Rifle" windshield but before I would install it, I figured that I should paint the center panel. So I would not have to try and get my hand behind that panel and clean it. Well, it took a bit of trial and error before I found a method applying paint on the shield. The new acrylic paints really don't stick to plexiglass as well as lacquer paint used to. In the end I did get it done ... hopefully the attached photos open and they're view-able. Personally, I think I did a fair job.

- August 13, 2017, 07:29:36 AMPaint pen for the outline, acrylic glass paints, applied by paint brush, for the everything else. Then painted the back side with 4 clear coats to protect from the windshield bag rubbing thru ... also added a piece of plexiglass behind the painting for the same reason. An evening to paint and 3 days to dry.
