The problem with most common 'translucent paints' is that they're very hard to apply to big panels through a traditional 'rattle' paint can. I've done this on plastic automotive parts before, and it takes a decent bit of skill to get two parts to look anywhere close to identical.
On the window tint subject, I'm fairly sure that the right tint (probably around 35%) would do the trick. The only concern here is the heat used during application, since it could - in theory - warp the polycarb panel if the applier wasn't careful.
