Show us your panel

Its an MGL E-1 used to replace the old quad gauge. I'm very happy with it.

I like the white panel color. It helps me to separate the instruments when scanning across them. I noticed when I was flying the 172 with the black panel the instruments all sort of blended together and it took me a little longer to focus on one.

I would think white might be too much glare if the sun was shining in somewhat from the rear directly on the panel. I would suggest some lighter matt finish color in between white and black. My 2 cents (glare really bothers my eyes).

It's actually more of a creme color with a satin finish so it's not glossy. I've never had a glare complaint from the panel. The dash you would definitely want something that doesn't cast a glare on the windshield though.

I'm thinking of using white epoxy primer with a gloss reducing additive which also tones down the bright white because of the additives tea like color. My glare shield will remain black. I just bought the MGL RV-1 Infinity for Rpm, the Velocity AHRS with SP6 Magnetometer for compass only for now and the V6 transceiver. I will have a mix of vintage steam and modern digital and wont have to screw the compass to the glare shield.

I didn't want the potential of glare from my instrument panel when using the G3X so I stuck with flat grey and flat black.

A light color panel can reflect more light onto other things, like your clothes which can be seen on the instruments or screens of your panel.

Never the less I really like the look of gregsgt's panel, the instruments really stand out.

Looks good TJay...I see you have lightening holes on the sides...are you planning to remain as is without a center console to reduce completion weight as well? Love the CF panel! Looks really clean.
