Yes sir they are just covers lewis5 sent some type of glue to apply them on with , but I will use clear silicone for the application
As for the clear tape I'm going to wrap them them in clear so they don't get road rash
Do you know of any type of paint that I can use to paint the screens that can be bought

You might check into having the screens powder coated, I am sure it won't cost a lot and will last for ever.

If you had the front screens powder coated and it didn't stay I would find a different Powder Coat guy for sure.
