I have had some success using what they call "Mylar Film", it is a 
fairly thin plastic almost like the shrink wrap that covers the box
on model kits, except that Mylar Film is gold tinted.  I apply the 
film to the inside of the canopy using Microscale Foil Adhesive,
available at most hobby shops.  Then when your canopy is painted on
the outside (only the frames of coarse) you see the gold tint on the
clear portions.  It turns out looking great, but I recommend playing
around with the stuff on some other "junk" before trying it on your
important stuff, because the film will crinkle if proper care is not
taken when applying it, and if this happens and you pull it off, its
nearly impossible to get that Microscale adhesive glue residue off
the inside of your canopy.

Have Fun!!
