Default paint for depo headlights..

I've searched and googled and cant seem to find a good write up on painting the lens of the depo headlights. Iam just wondering what prep work needs to be done and what kinda of paint are you guys using.
TIA,
Chuck

Same kinda of prep you would do for anything other paint job I would think.

Probally just bake the headlights and they come apart like most.

Yeah i've read up on seperating the lens from the housing (using a heat gun or oven) if i wanted to paint the inside of the lights. but iam merely talking about the outside of the lens. I was just wondering what paints, primer , # of grit people are using.
Thanks,
Chuck
