Well I did it - painted the bottom part of my Madstad windshield to help eliminate the glowing edges and reflection I was getting - and it didn't work.
First off, I used Plasti-Dip because I felt if I screwed up, I could peel it off and be back to normal. Yea, it peels off alright.
When I pulled the tape off, expecting a nice clean line, the paint peeled off too. Damn. Not bad, but not perfect.
Looks good from the front though, I think. Might peel it all off and re-paint with Fusion paint for plastics.
Second, it didn't eliminate the glowing refection I was getting, just diffused it some.
It did eliminate the glowing edges though, so that's a good thing.
I was experimenting covering the top part of the headlight itself - and that does the trick. Would love a sort of 'sun visor' to block the light going up, but that would defeat the Madstad system of over/under air.
Thinking about painting black the top part of the headlight to block the light. When I taped over it, it helped eliminate the reflection glow, and did not interfere with the headlight function or where it shines down road.
Thoughts??
