I am making a mod to my R/C car.
Its a 4x4 off road dirt racing electric powered remote controlled car which goes pretty damn fast. I had some oil on it from a previous incident (must've run into some on the road) so today I disassembled the whole car and washed every dirty piece twice. I am putting a small speaker connected to my MP3 player in there. Its a cheap player, so I am taking it apart and gluing it to a piece of 3 mm clear plexi which will make the back window. I don't want people to see the circuit board, so I need a way (CHEAP) to tint the plexy.

Someone please help!

a bit experiental but you could mix some coloured paint with some clear varnish probally 25% paint 75% varnish and apply it to the side that will be inside the car. worth a try and cheap as chips :)
