Sunshade for Canopy

[danal]

I searched but did not find...

What are people doing for sunshade in the Astore canopy?  Koger sunshades and if so which one?  Paint? Film? Cling dots? Plastikote? 

I'm thinking seriously about plastikote, under the assumption that it will peel off every winter and I'd re-apply it every summer.  Inside or outside? I happen to be an LSRM, so it is legal for me to remove the canopy and invert it to do inside, and later re-install it. 

Anyway, what are you guys doing for in-canopy shade?

I use a couple of large size slap-on sun shades from Sportys. Not perfect and look worse than awful from the outside particularly because of trapped air bubbles, but reasonably effective and easy to move around on the canopy. And a hat. Any more permanent sort of tinting would limit visibility flying at night.

Yep, a hat is an absolute necessity. I either need to add it to a checklist, or something, because I've had to shutdown and go get one, on occasion.

Slap on, I'll give those a try.

Thanks!

Also, when I was talking about white Liquid Plastikote, I was thinking about a coverage something like below.  It REALLY changes the look of a bubble canopy airplane.
