Should have searched. We just had a thread that recently talked about this.

Me I like lowes Valspar series spray paint. (Primer and gloss) use some sand paper, and bam.

as to the blue bezel thing, I think that it largely depends on if you are going to do a color theme with it, if you are going to have other accent pieces on the outside that are blue you might be able to pull it off even though I am still not sure how well it would look...if not then I would just go black

It doesn't take much to scuff them up, can't go wrong with black

painting them for the first time is easy as pie, but if you decide to change colors it is harder to get it off then you might think

though I can't specifically speak for your set, unless the housing looked like it had been opened, that is just how much silicone gm used...there were other much more important parts that gm could care less if they fell apart but they were on a mission to insure that no one had a leaky headlight

when I just did mine I used 320 grit...it left a decent scuff all over but once painted you couldn't see the sanding marks
