I don't kno about that but if you check like a hobby store they have spray tint esc stuff. If that doesn't work you can always find a vinyl shop and have them hook you up with some bulk vinyl.

test

I would test the paint thing out on a piece of clear plexiglass to make sure it will give you the desired look, and so you can know how thick or thin to go, on the real thing so you dont mess the good ones up.
