Where did you find those clear corners? They don't look like the cheap chinese ebay ones?

Anyways, to prep just mask off the lenses, sand the chrome down so it is dull or gone with like some 320 sandpaper. then clean them with soap and water, some good primer, then paint and clear/.

just a random pic i found on google images.do u know of any particular brand of paint and primer i should use and after sanding it with 320 do i have to sand it with a 1000 or 2000 grit to smooth it out.

Thanks I looked at the image url and found the site, they dont have prices or a maker of the lenses though.

Anyways I always use the engine spray paint from the auto stores because it holds up the best from what I've found. Actually use 400 or so and no I dont sand after, you want something for the primer to bite onto, it is plastic after all. But I am by no means a professional painter so take what I said for what its worth.
