I know many many moons ago you used to be able to get a powder, mix it with boiling water and rinse out the lens in it, once dry it was waterproof, do it as many time as you wanted for the darker tints, we used to do the indicater lenses like that and even standard screens, you could mask off sections or a name in insulating tape and that would remain clear, although we are talking perhaps 20 years ago now

Cheers Mark.
