Did not know that. One way to tint a shield is to use Black Rit® Dye. Two bottles in a pan with hot water, soak the shield for about half an hour and it's done.

then all paint would chip off and crack on anything that is plastic and painted. I've seen tint on polycarbonate plastic things all the time.

I'm going with you thought of this off the top of your head.

spray on tint does work on plastic, just not well. Polycarbonate expands/contracts less than standard auto glass. The reason folks use the tint film instead of spray on is because the spray on is so much messier.
