To tint or not to tint...

As nobody here has a method for tinting the cockpit (and I can't get Rit dye here[] ) I did figure out how to make the false plexiglass translucent, but not crystal clear as it comes from the factory. I've completely masked the exterior part, and applied a very thin coat of the same Monokote paint to the interior side. I wasn't any enthusiastic at all about doing this, but I really prefer a completely silver cockpit to a clear one, so I just needed to make a partial cover of paint, but a even one over all the interior surface.
The results surprised me. It looks really cool!

Here I am doing the work:
