headlight eyelids

i am going to be painting my civic soon. i will be spraying the primer this next weekend. so my question is, can i just spray primer on the headlight lens and then the paint? do i need to rough the surface up to get it to adhear better?

you're going to paint eyelids directly onto the lens?

at least use removeable lids so when you realize how stupid they look you can remove them :a:

not to mention it affects light output. but if you must do the ricer mod, do what snoopy said, use removable lids.

I have yet to see a 96-00 civic that looks good with those things.

the headlight housing design isn't right for it...
