Are there any special techniques I should consider when painting clear parts?
I looked at a sample picture of a finished RX-7 scale model and it seems that the guy used an airbrush to make black shades on the sides of the windshield. Can I get the same effect on just hand painting it?
I doubt it. Most of those black areas sort of feather away, ie. no hard demarcation line. Without an airbrush you'll need an aerosol can of paint and some masking.

Does he meant the tinted shaded area? i would say that had to be sprayed, or very thin carefully done. I had seen this on the clear parts of my car kits, a pain to do sometimes.
