Default Center Console windshield frame

For my 20 ft Proline.Quick question: I am replacing the plexi in it, and decided to paint the frame. As I am looking at it today after I sprayed it with clear coat the other day I thought I figured out why it was FLAT before. GLARE! Am I right in this? Should I keep it flat?Thanks! Allot of questions today...LOL

I can't imagine the glare from that would be any worse than the glare from the plexi or from any part of the gelcoat, or any of the stainless hardware. I would just do it in whatever way will make it look the way you want it to. Good luck...

Depends on the angle. The top of my windshield is brushed aluminium and it blinds me awful at midday. I'm planning to dull it down some when I get a good idea and some time. Glossy black is probably not half as bad as brushed aluminium though.
