Well,
Candy paints in general are translucent. Stick with a candy or pearl color. (I'm a hobbyist and paint plastic alot). The pearls are nice because they add an opal sheen whereas the candys add a plain sheen. Of course some metallics you can add as well since by default they need a silver or white base coat and are naturally less thick to use the base to get the 'metallic' part. But on a clear lens it may have an interesting effect.
However, to play it safe, the least opaque of the tints is a candy colored paint.
