Hello everyone, I have just primed the top side of my weekender and thought I would get some advice about painting. I was thinking of trying a gloss white but I think I read somewhere that glare can be a problem. Is flat a better way to go?

Thanks for any input.

I'll bet you semi-gloss would be better ...also either Lt. Gray or Tan, as both are going to absorb some of the spectrum and not kick 100% of the visible spectrum back at you. 2cents worth..

Hell, I didn't notice you were in ABT... Maybe you want as much light as you can get. It gets harsh here in Maryland, May-Aug.

LOL (actually our summer months we get an avg. 16 hours of day light and less than 8 in the winter.) Glad to hear semi was a good choice and light grey, because that’s exactly what I did.

Thanks Jim
