I can't see how I could apply tinted film to a curved (ovoid) surface 
without wrinkles galore.  However, I'm currently trying a spray-on 
window tint from Testors:

I did about twenty coats last night, each very light because otherwise 
this stuff tends to run.  It's not quite as dark as I want yet, but 
other than that, it looks great.

Best,
