did that several weeks ago, used some plastic primer first, then black engine paint, except i took the orange part off, and painted behind it too, then poped the orange part back in, still looks good

lol, hit it againt's my friend's car mirror, i got it fixed though like 2 weeks ago, so its all good now, took a while to get used to driving with a mirror again, lol

i used a primer (Krylon Fussion -> bonds to plastic) and black krylon fussion however i recommend u just do the black kyrlon, i found the white was a waste of money the black sits really nice.

i picked up from canadian tire.
Also after u bake ur headlight and pry them apart let it sit for 30mins to cool down. mistake i made was taping them up right after and the glue from the tape stuck to the amber light.
