I really like the mirrorred look of the aftermarket screens.  Is there any way to achieve this look?  The only thing I've seen for spray paint is the color-changing paint I think from Duplicolor.  Window tint won't work according to what I've found.  A tint shop told me that because high heat is needed to form the tint around the curves, the heat would melt the plastic.

Any ideas?

Several people have painted their windscreens with sucess.  Or you could just buy one from puig or zero gravity.

Even if the voices aren't real they have some good ideas.

I really want to get one, but I've never seen a picture of a normal style screen with a mirror tint.  I've only seen a Sport Touring screen with dark tint.

Mirror-tinted windscreen... are you planning on blinding oncoming traffic, people who don't ride a GS, or low-flying birds and aircraft?

Window film doesn't really work. The windscreen has a compound curve and it's very difficult to use film without having it fold on you.

I tried it when the F first came out... Take a look at the avitar, it looked good from about 10 feet but it was jacked up if you got any closer. Needless to say it took the film off after taking a couple pictures.
