I discovered a neat trick!
Well I'm still painting up for my Route 66 game. I have a number of figures in glasses, most of which I assme are sunglasses. I wanted to get the modern Gargoyles Sunglasses kind of look with the mirrored colored look (the orange and green you see). The solution was easy. I use a very shiny silver paint, a hobby paint called Ceramcoat acrylics by Delta "Gleams". This is fine for the standard aviator mirrored look. But for colored lenses, I hit them with a dab of ink. red or green the effect is fantasic.
The Rafm "D-Fens" has my standard light blue glasses.
The West Wind "Red Neck" has mirrored glasses (silver gleams paint).
The Urban Mammoth Urban War figs are one with orange (silver and red ink) and the Neo-Morphius has the green (silver and green ink).
You can really see the glint off of the Neo-Morphius figure, I just couldn't get the light right on the other figs.
