Thinking about powder coating my windshield - take a look

I have the standard white finish and was thinking about either light gray or dark gray. I am leaning towards dark gray, maybe even a flat black - opinions?

The white looks good, skip the black, If the grey matches the graphics well that just might beat the white

I agree, skip the black, the grey looks cool.

Grey if it matches the graphics. The 42 that was at Tickfaw with the yellow frame looked great! Made a big diffference in the appearance of the boat.

I like the white best, and always cool in the summer too.

I like the gray look the best. But I'd paint it before I powder coated it, seems like the powder coat is always a PIA on a boat.

Now would be the time for me pull the windshield for a color change. Opinions on the keeping it white or light gray like the graphics or a dark greay (almost black to match the graphic pinstripe are appreciated.
