get a paint like duplicolor, its basically exact match for your car. CT has there own brand of it. I think its colormatch or something.

wut i did was i sanded the lids with 320 grit sand paper...smothed em out...this took a lot of the red paint off....then i painted the back black with tremclad....then it dried...washed it....then used some rubbin alcohol...cleaned it....no need for primer....i gave it a few coats of white frost...it sat...did it again unitl it was covered.....let it dry for 15 min ,and i hit it up with clear....few coats...let it sit...blwo dried it...and its smooth as class.....they are on teh car, but they don't look like they are an extension of the body...same colour...but they sit out more
