I'd be amazed if you were able to apply a light coat of regular black spray paint over green and have it come out anywhere even close to good looking. Light coats of spray paint still come out as discrete little specs, and trying to get nice, light, uniform coverage would be tricky. Something you might try is using a few coats of transparent black spray paint (modelers use this type of stuff for window tinting) kinda like this: http://www.hobbylinc.com/htm/tes/tes...source=froogle. I have never used the stuff before so I really don't know what to expect for results from it.

Good luck! I look forward to hearing/seeing how it turns out.
