take teh lights out of the housing, make sure the surface is clean and it probably doesnt have a clear coat already - hit it with some primer (3 thin coats) then the paint, you can get teh paint color you need mixed up at your local paint shop or auto one etc. then spray it with 2-3 thin coats,

read up on spraying rims and spray tehm in the same style, misty, light thin coat and itll eventaully get covered up completely.

you COULD sand it down with some very fine sand paper (wet) and make it a little smoother (if its not) but this part is optional.
if you do, hit it with more paint(grey in your case) and continue this round robin process until your happy with the result.
then, hit it with some clear coat! again 2-3 thin coats

and your done!
