i removed the lens, taped off the part thats still chrome, roughed up the rest with steel wool, cleaned it, then sprayed it with about 3 light coats of gloss black.
i followed this GREAT tutorial: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/224386/2
the only thing i did different was i taped it off first so i wouldn't scratch the mirrored area with the steel wool.

Mine did not come out that good... When I peeled off the tape, it pulled some paint up w/ it. What kind of paint did you use and did you pull the tape off after it dried or while it was wet? Thanks.
