I'm currently working on a sc-ifi ship, and I was wanting to know if anyone had any ideas for tinting the canopy a metallic shade?
I want it to have the appearance of reflective sunglasses or an astronauts visor.. kind of shiny copper. The problem is that it needs to still feel like a clear window when I display it with the canopy open. I tried mixing a brownish-orange color with clear Tamiya paints and the effect is just not cutting it... but the only other option I can think of is regular metal paint... which kind of destroys the appearance when open.
Has anyone done a canopy like this before, or knows of a product that might do what I'm looking for?
