| Subject: | Glare-shield painting |
Guys
Questions for those of you who didn't upholster the glare-shield of your -10:
Which colour did you paint the upper surface of your glare-shield?
And which colour, if different, did you paint the under part of the glare-shield
which protrudes above the instrument panel?
And by the way, when in the building process did you paint these 2 surfaces?
TIA
Carlos

Carlos,
I went with flat black, trusty Rust-Oleum if I remember correctly. Its been
9 1/2 years with no issues whatsoever and no problem with glare either. I painted
the bottom white to match my instrument panel. I painted it after installation
but before putting the windshield in.
If you are going to put any cooling fans in the glare shield I recommend you make
the cutouts before installing, I know its a bit of a pain to do them later
on :( One or two computer cooling fans helps with cooling the avionics as well
as being a natural defogger.
Have fun,
Marcus

Flat black.

I painted mine the same color (colour) as my instrument panel ....
rust-oleum # 7223 sandstone, It's in the 'textured' area. I painted my
tunnel cover and the overhead plenum the same color.

I painted the glareshield before I riveted on the fwd upper fuse, just
before I installed the cabin top and windshield. I painted the aft
underside two weeks ago because my first attempt peeled .... probably
poor prep on my part. Lots of masking tape and paper since the interior
was already painted.
Linn .... painting the FG parts .... white.

RustOlium dark brown (I forget the official color), flat, top and underside. Fan
holes drilled first. Painted in place but no windscreen, no instrument panel.

Hi
I have been wondering about how hard it should be push the locking tab on a fuel
cap into place. One of mine was very, very difficult so I ended up backing off
the retaining nut.
Anyway, is there any lubrication (fuel lube perhaps) required.
How snug should the tab be?
Inquiring minds need to know.

The thermos bottle caps take some regular maintenance. You'll need a
little light grease on the lobe of the handle cam. I found a grease called
Krytox (sorry, there are several types and I don't recall which I went
with) for the oring. Works great.
Fuel lube, contrary to what the name implies, is really a sealant and will
gum up the works in short order. It works best to lube pipe threads, etc.
between dissimilar metals, ie, to prevent galling aluminum pumps and such.
And it's fuel proof, but not exactly slippery.

While not identical, Beech and Mooney fuel caps require something like
Triflow or silicone lube on O-rings. I've also used DC-4 where I wanted
to last longer...same stuff you use on oil filter o-ring.

I found my old order for Krytox:
http://www.mcmaster.com/#dupont-krytox-gpl-206-grease/=119achu
A 1/2 oz tube has lasted for a couple seasons now-- $$$ but worth it.
Avgas doesn't seem to phase it.
I only use it on the fuel cap orings.
