Anybody know how to get a good result simulating ballistic glass?

I;m working on an AFV Club Stryker and am at the point of closing her up...meaning, it's time to install the vision blocks. I've been experimenting painting this over that on old clear sprue, but don't like any of the results. A quick search on the FSM web site turned up an article that was in the Dec '04 issue. Searched the stacks but can't find that issue. Please... some help here...self stick mylar? candy wrapper? anything? If you're not sure what ballistic glass looks like, it looks like either magenta or purple colored glass...here's a couple examples...

I went to Hobby Lobby to see what I could find to use there...and take advantage of the 40% coupon...found sequins that are flat not convex. Colors are almost perfect too. $1.25 solution. Any other suggestions would be helpful since I have a couple days and a bucks worth of materials.

Thanks Mark
