Is there a better way to do the blackout when mounting this way ? I see race cars all the time with black applied to the steel and not the lexan that will (I'm not sure what you call the effect) high gloss in the stress area(s) against the clear lexan and looks bad. Should you paint both - the flange and the lexan with color, and/or is there some other gaskets or other process that works ?

PS, how about a 'tri-wing' screw instead of an allen style. We used them on L1011 aircraft and they are over-torque reduction fasteners. I'll see if I can find a pic - or get some from the basement stockpile.
