...Make Fixed Windows Look More Realistic?

[Casey]

I'm working on a 1/10 scale ex-R/C Camaro being built as a slammer, with the body and rolling stock being the only visible parts on the finished model. The windshield is a separate piece, but is molded in solid (completely opaque) plastic, but the side and rear window areas are molded as one with body shell. I've scribed around the perimeters of the side windows, adding some shadow lines, but I'm open to suggestions for making the "fixed" windows look more realistic. Highly polished gloss black paint is probably my #1 option, but option #2 is to test out some black decal film and see how that looks. I don't have much faith that will look all that great, though.

I plan to paint the gaps/edges surrounding the windows, so there will be a some contrast with the window finish. The final body color is yet to be decided, but will be on the lighter side- gold, white, or light grey.

I would cut them out and replace them with dark tinted clear acetate. It will make painting/finishing the body easier also.
