Can anyone help with tips for paining Translucent white(ish) bottles and water tanks similar to the below

 

I have to paint this on a grey plastic...

 

Getting this "translucency" is very difficult... :)

All I would say is use as little paint as you can get away with. You could try giving it a light or mid-grey base coat and then "mist" on the white coats. I'm assuming you have an airbrush, here. Ideally, you would want the grey coat to be just about visible through the white.  

 

Hope this helps.
