are you painting the interior or exterior of the lens? If the exterior i would paint it like a body part: lightly sand out scratches, tint, wet sand the tint lightly, 2x clear. otherwise, paint the interior if you can and just wash it with soap and water and tint away.

Or, you could just go to a frabric store and get some thin gauge smoked vinyl, go at it with a heat gun and some rubbing alcohol and you would have a tint you could take off. Just another way to skin the cat.
