Have you considered an automotive "candy color" finish? The effect would be similar to a shellac toner with dye but it would be a prepackaged product.. Candy colors are transparent and normally used over a metallic base, but there's no reason they can't be used standalone.

You can have an automotive paint shop mix any color you want if have spray equipment, or you can get a couple of shades of purple in rattle cans for about 40 bucks a pop from http://www.alsacorp.com/products/killercans/candy/candy.htm.

I wonder how perfect the base has to be. Probably _absolutely_ flat.
This could be an easy way to make custom shaped mirrors, too, huh?

Check out that Lambo in the 2007 SEMA show video. Booful!
