VHT nightshade is ideal if you want it to be at least a little bit see through. Otherwise Krylon Plastic paint is what I used on mine, came out great, but don’t expect to see through it. ---

Also the Testors Transparent Black is basically the same thing. Its meant for model car window tint, so it should work, $4 for 3oz: [http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXNV75&P=FR](http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXNV75&P=FR) ---

Ive done both ways, VHT and then black spray paint (krylon). Both work extremely well, however i liked the krylon method better. If you want to see through it, than bite the bullet and buy a legit one. My issue with that is 99% of them fit like shit, and im anal about that. So just spray the inside black, done deal. Just did it on my 06 gsxr an love it. ---
