How to tint plastic? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My digital water gauge that I bought to replace the factory one in my 87 is too bright. It seems that regular glass tint will not tint the lens. As per the glass shop. So how could I give a fairly heavy tint to that one spot on the gauge lens? I took off that clear plastic lens that covers all the gauges in the whole gauge cluster.

So I just want to put a little bit of tint on that one portion of the gauge lens that goes over the water temp gauge. That way I don't have to tint the whole thing. Seeing as how the other gauges just don't need it. How do I go about tinting it?
