One way I have read about (but have not done myself) is to mix the clear 
part of a metalic paint (you know, the part that sits on top when the heavy 
stuff settles on the bottom), with a very tiny amount of the color (gold) 
you need.  Airbrush this mixture onto the clear piece in thin 
coats on the inside surface of the part. Practice on something before you 
try it on your model.  The article mentioned using food colors (seriously) 
for tinted canopies.  I'd try yellow food color for the F117 if the gold 
paint doesn't look right.
