I tint a lot of my diecasts. At one time i was using real automotive tint. It took a lot of patience and often times several applications. I'm sure if you have the patients this method will work but these days i use a product called VHT Nightshades. It's for smoking out taillights on 1:1 cars. About 3-4 swipes to the inside of your windows with this product and you get a nice dark tint but it allows some light through. Below is a pic of my jeep that has tinted windows using the VHT product. As well as what the cans look like.
I've used real 1:1 tinting film before and it came out well, although I found it easier and looked better to apply it to the outside surface than the inside like you would on a 1;1 on the particular car I used (Kyosho z32)
Thanks for the replies guys! I guess I'll try out some film first then.
