I painted the frame with Rustoleum metalic black which came out fairly good, my welds filled with bondo don't stand out. The paint is interesting, sorta semi-gloss with super fine metal flakes, charcoal color with sparkle. I've read how fragile fresh paint is so I'm afraid to even move it, give another day and try to find a place to hang it so I can park my car inside. I think I'll get some steel rod to start the seat back 1/4" or maybe bigger. As far as the windscreen, a simple piece of clear plastic, not sure which kind is best, cut to rounded rectangle shape with aluminum frame for attachment.
