You could either paint the canopy with stained glass paint or you could try dying it red.

tamiya clear red is the way i would go also you might want to thin it with a model color thinner or just plain clear coat. i would also try a few drops of red dye in a clear coat and air brushing it on might work.

I'd go with scarlet or wine RIT dye. Won't accidentally scratch off.

you can get Tamiya paints at any hobby shop like hobby town. but I'd try the dye. Also your spray cap looks like chrome. If you want the chrome effect to work you have to spray anything gloss black first then very lite coats of chrome spay and then you'll have a mirror finish.
