Default anyone tried painting altezzas?

Ok, I have the CF altezzas on my black tib, and I think they look pretty good, but I also think they'd look a lot better if the inside was painted to match the car. Has anyone done this? Any thoughts? Would this be something I'd have to do myself, or would a shop be able to do it for me?

Thanks,

You would have to crack them open.paint them and then glue them back together. It can be done. mmm, I got an extra pair. I am gonna go try that now.

Thanks,
Its real easy to do, just bake the lights in the oven at 250 farenhiet, for like 7-10 minutes. Just be sure to keep an eye on them! Take em out and pull the clear lenses off, tape off the part you don't want painted and paint desired color on rest of light! My friend just did it to his accord altezzas! Came out killer
