What's the best type of paint to use to paint my plastic windshield on my Liberator. It's a smoked windshield and has numerous flaws within the plastic (UV sun damage is my guess), has a crazed look but the surface is fine. Want to paint it white to match the boat.......................:confused::confused::confused:

Sounds like the crazing in the windshield.....does it look like it is cracking but the surface is still smooth? If that is the case the windshield is carbon fiber. I do not know how to paint either one though. The carbon fiber will do that over time. I had a local shop make me a carbon fiber windshield to replace mine it cost under 250.00. The boat is a Allison grandsport.
