Sometimes for airplane canopies, the inside colour of the frame differs from the outside.
But since we usually do not mask and paint from the inside, (we only paint from the outside), we first paint the inner colour.
This will be visible through the transparent plastic.
Then we paint over the canopy again, using the exterior colour.
Thus the canopy frames will have one colour on the 'inside' and another colour on the outside. Em58

I have been using white glue for all my plane canopy.. once dried.. strong enough for painting works.

painting inside canopy = mask liao, ab black then followed by the main canopy colour

so when u view the inside of the canopy it is black instead of grey
