Hi, you can use model master clear green paint. I used it in my brave souls dio on the wine bottles and it works great. Cheers Kevin

Testors and Tamiya both make a transparent green paint. Simply brush it on thick and the brush strokes disappear. There is also available at craft stores a tint for stained glass that comes in green. This would work too. I have also heard of tinting Future floor polish with green food color and painting it on too, but have never used this method.
