For the Stormfang/Wolf/Murder I decided I wanted to try and tint the canopy. I researched and found out the only real way to do it was to get clear paint, the only people who made clear paint are Japanese model companies. The only one that made black was a company called GaiaNotes. It's actually a lacquer designed to be used in airbrushes, so I had to get a lacquer thinner, Mr Hobby Thinner (also Japanese). Both things smell like they will kill you and I had to get them off ebay from Taiwan. Anyway, below are the results.
The left side is a test piece graciously given to me by Dan Young. The right side is the actual canopy. For some reason with the actual piece there was this weird graininess that ended up being somewhat noticeable. However as I sprayed the inside, it came out ok.
And here it is on the model itself. The lighting sucks a lot, and the canopy isn't as dark as that. All in all I'm quite happy, even with the graininess.
