Default How to - Tint a Plexiglass Canopy

I would like to tint the canopy on my asw-15.

I have heard that plexiglass does have gasses that are constantly
released and will damage regular car tint applied to it. Would static
cling tint sold from homedepot work for it?

Anyone ever seen or heard of a glider tinted with film?

The curvature shouldn't be a problem, I have a window tint side
business for cars. I will need to cut the tint directly on the
canopy. My only thought to not scratch it will be to place a thin
flexible peice of metal strip behind the tint while cutting it.

Any ideas?
