Default custom colored windscreen?

the common color windscreens I have seen are black, chrome, red, blue, yellow. is it recommended to use regular car window tint to put on a clear windscreen? if I was able to get some crazy colored window tint that is only available for cars, could I use it on the bike windscreen (on the side of the windscreen that is closer to the guages of course)?

I'm open to all suggestions. I didn't know you can paint them. Is there a certain paint to be used?

I used spray window tint for rc ccars. It worked great and looks like a dark smoke windscreen after about 10 coats...

On that Spray Paint tint can you see through that or am I just seeing a reflection in the pic?

that is not a reflection, that is looking through it, that is the stone wall next to my garage. You can kindof see through it but it is blurry from the paint so it is not worth doing if you want to see through it. Buyt if you want a smoked windscreen but dont have the money, or just like making little projects like me then go for it. It will look good but when you get close up you can tell it was painted.
