Salon Window Visors

On our Manta 38 "What If" we did not have the visors on the boat so we had shades on the outside to keep the sun from heating up the boat.  When we started to look for the new boat we decided that the visors were something we wanted.  So Charm has them but we didn't really want them painted blue, which is how they came.  Since we had to remove the visors to replace the salon windows it is a good time to swap out that blue.  Looking from the inside of the boat the visors were painted black and we wanted to change that as well, since we did not go with tinted windows, and used clear to allow more light in.

There isn't much space to do the work so I have set the visors across the head sail and paint the sides not on the sail cover. The port side has been removed and is partially painted with the primer, if the rain allows.

not sure the picture shows well but the visor is white on the inside as well.

Our visors had been reinforced by the previous owner, so we should be able to use them to step on as well.  Hoping the white is not too white.

We will find out in the heat of summer if going with white and un-tinted windows was a mistake.  Oh, well, we can always make shades, but can't untint windows.
