What is the best way to paint the green glass on Modern US trucks like the HEMTT?

Thanks!

Tamiya does a clear green paint. Or you could put some green food colouring in Gloss varnish such as Future/Clear.

HEMTT glass is not green tinted. I think you are just seeing the reflection of the surroundings off the glass since it is angled just righ. Below is the latest version M978A4 HEMMT Fueler and you can see the glass is clear.



Or a new cab w/o external light and surrounding to reflect off of it, clear glass.


Even armored cabs have clear glass.
