White rollbar reflections?

[rgmwa]

My cockpit will have a full interior kit and any exposed metal will be grey, but I'd like to paint the roll bar and brace white. I've seen a number of pictures of RV-12's with a white roll bar and brace, but am wondering if anyone has experienced any problems with reflections?

Several of us have used the off white textured paint, should not reflect badly I think, have not tried it yet though.

There is no shortage of reflections in the 12, good luck

I have the Koger shade, does that not help a bit?

And a word to the wise! Scratch the roll bar REAL good before painting it. Is a bit tougher than 2025. A few of us have found that whatever primer or paint is used it will not adhere very well unless the surface is properly prep'd.

Don, the Koger is a must regardless of interior color.

I'm using a matt white so that might help a bit, and a Koger sunshade is a must in our climate anyway. Thanks for the feedback.
