I'm considering getting some resin modern cars for spectator ops. The problem is I have never painted windscreen/windshield's Before. any advice? Any online or free PDF tutorials? Any links to topics already dealing with this task? Any help regarding this job would be a great help.

Does spectator ops include getting the best parking spot at the drive-in movie, or does it revolve entirely around what the spectators are doing in their cars?

This is the 2020's Oberlindes. You don't go to the drive-in: you go up to Gary or Chicago and watch the drive-by. Pretty much the same violence, profanity and sound track, but no commercials.

Spectator ops in cars? Sounds suspiciously like dogging to me…

Extra Crispy is correct. Gloss black, I use Tamiya Gloss Black X-1. These are solid resin trucks. Primer as normal, paint the window glass black. Mike Bunkermeister Creek Bunker Talk blog
