I'm working my way toward painting my aircraft, but I want to replace or refurbish the windshield and side windows first. I have a few questions for those who have already done this:
1. When replacing the windshield, did you go for a clear or tinted windshield. I realize you wouldn't want heavily tinted windshields, but car windshields are lightly tinted and that does not seem to affect night vision.
2. For those side windows that have an inner and outer window, did you only tint the inside or outside or both?
3. There are windows that are Solar Control (resist IR and UV light), is this the same as tinting or something different?
4. Some old windows can be refurbished by buffing out the surface imperfections which might become new, did any of you do this, or if you were going to remove the windows, you just decided to install new ones. Sounds like new would be best since the labor is what cost.
Thanks for any help,
Karl
