Windscreen Tinting / Painting Question

Well last year I replaced my OEM windscreen with an aftermarket Maier Windscreen that I found on Ebay. Overall I am happy with the looks but one thing that is annoys me is that along the bottom of the screen you can see the gray plastic on the backside just under the gauge cluster. The OEM screen was trimmed in black in front of that portion so that it did not show through. Any advice on how to hide this? I've considered possibly tinting it darker along the bottom but I have no tinting experience and not sure how durable it is. I've also considered painting the screen but I'm not sure whether or not I should rough up the screen with sandpaper before painting or should I applying paint directly to the smooth taped off portion. What type of paint is best and what type of other prep is recommended? I also need to confirm that Sweetwater420 is the best ale to consume while doing said task. Here is a pic of the screen and you can see the area I am talking about just above the headlights.



Thanks

You might consider removing the screen and painting the underside which would be much less obvious. And in doing so, you maintain that nice sheen to exposed outside. This would be less likely to chip and peel as well. I shouldn't think that you would need to sand before you painted with an Acrylic paint, but I am sure there are many here who have more knowledge than I to answer that. You could also try painting the gray plastic parts, flat black. For what its worth.

I don't think that the tinting film works on plastic shield. I looked into doing mine and the couple places I went said no.
