So I am working on a star brigade custom vehicle . I am using the iron grenadiers vehicle Razorback and painting it the starbbrigade cobra colors . I want to paint the clear canopy’s and cockpits of this vehicle the same color as the star brigade pogo translucent neon green color ? Any ideas on how to do this ? Has anyone tried anything like this . Does anybody have a airbrush where I could send them the parts and they do it ?

I remembered blood brigade had done something similar. I got lucky and it wasn't that long ago.

blood brigade wrote,

"It’s a clear spray paint by Tamiya. It’s comes in all sorts of colours like Smoke, Red, Blue, Green, Yellow and Orange."

Synthetic fabric dye would work to tint it, but I don't know how you'd get that bright, neon quality.

The finish on the Blood Brigade piece 2DARK linked looks good. If you can't find that color maybe a yellow coat with a light coat of green? Get some plastic you can test it on from packaging maybe?
