The very best way to tint windows on models is to use real (full scale) window tinting film. Some detailing shops might be willing to give you their scraps, and it's easy to apply.

Spraying transparent colors for tinting usually gives unsatisfactory results- it's nearly impossible to apply a good optical grade tint finish by spraying. You'll see any and all imperfections, and they will be impossible to correct.

Same for tints made on a color copier with clear decal film. However, with decals you have more chances to get it "lookin' right" without ruining the windshield.
