I recently tried to tint the clear plastic canopy using the hotwater/die treatment that works for my model planes. Whatever kind of plastic is used the die will not take unless the water is hot enough to deform the plastic.

When I ordered a replacement canopy (dont laugh I curled it up like a pretzel) it was suggested that I use auto tint from an auto store. After trying it, the compound curves make this impossible. I can not buy a pre-tinted one so my only hope is to ask for any suggestions on tinting the plastic on this one that doesnt involve boiling water....

Any help would be appreciated.

Hehe, search tool is my friend... going to try the testors spray tint.

like you said spray on tint i use night shads from www.summitracing.com works great on my stuff
