I am looking for an after market service that can do the job similar to
the original factory conopies if that is all possible..

The 2 seat Lark that I did cross-country instruction in last year had a
brown/gold tinted canopy. It was fantastic. It was not quite as dark
as my brown/rose sunglasses. It significantly enhanced vis in all sky
conditions (never flew at night however). It probably lowered cockpit
temps but I don't know.

The first time I flew it I thought the altimeter was malfunctioning
because the ground looked so much closer than what I was accustomed to.
Other pilots noticed the same illusion. Perhaps it's a "blue blocker"
effect.

It's important to understand that the brown, rose, and gold tints
produce a very different result than gray. I would never want a gray
canopy unless it could be varied as needed. That's a ways off
technolgically I imagine, and brown would still be better.

Everyone who flew that Lark loved that canopy. I have no idea how to
tint an existing canopy but I'd sure like to know!
