I'm going to paint mine gloss black this weekend, I will post some finished photos. I'm thinking of leaving the chrome look straight back from the headlamps to give a raised look and paint the rest black if that makes sense.

Did mine today. First one took me almost 2 hours,but the 2nd one came apart in 8 minutes once it came out of the oven. Turned out really nice. Well until I had to come to work. It was raining and when i got to work they are fogging up Not sure why! I used silicone and then ratched them together for over 5 hours. Also I used another sealer and went around the whole edge afterwards My truck is till in the body shop,I did the ones on my rental i will swap them out of course when I get mine back.

It's most likely the paint fumes that are foggin it up if you sealed them up. i would have waited atleast 24 hours b4 putting back together to make sure the paint had cured
