Hi Caleb,
That does look good to me. The Baader film is safe (as long as you don't scratch or break it) and the colour of the Sun is a neutral white (from memory). You should only use a single sheet.
This is the easy way. You get a small disk of the Baader Astrosolar safety film already mounted in a cell for you. For a similar price you could get a whole A4 sheet of the same film. Enough for finders, binoculars and sunglasses.
The Sun will look like a white featureless disk. There may be a sunspot or two and possibly some faculae visible but it will be nothing like those colourful hydrogren alpha shots that you see. The equipment for this starts at around $900.
Great for observing a partial solar eclipse or a transit of Mercury or Venus though.
Have fun,
Doug
