Default Tinting shell windows transparent Blue

Guys what do you use to get the effect of a blue tint to the windows in a shell ? Im guessing it will be a transparent blue dusted over the clear windows, is it some sort of candy apple blue ?
Any help appreciated.
Jimmi.

Tamiya's got a can of transparent blue, works great! (Same type as the traditional "smoke")

faslucent blue, spray a few light coats, and it will give you a blue tint, you can do it with any faslucent colour too.

Keep in mind though that the Faskolor paint is not waterproof, nor very scratch proof. I always put on a coat of normal spray can white to "seal" it. And the Tamiya smoke on the windows for last, which is very tough and water resistant.

it is waterproof, just cause it is water based, you have to let the paint breathe for a few days to fully cure, once cured, tough as nails.
