Anywho... as last prep item before spray... wipe down surfaces ready to accept paint with a paint prep-solvent (3m and PPG make great ones) or denatured alcohol at the least.

Likewise, use a real clear coat not all in one box solution. Otherwise, do the prep work and have local body shop spray clear for you.

Good luck
Are those paint prep-solvents safe for the polycarbonate lenses? I ask because most times when I use a solvent on something plastic, it ends in disaster for the plastic!
