Dude they are simple to paint. Go to your local auto parts store, buy the factory paint match and spray em and clear them, done.... Very easy to do, unless you want to get raped by a local paint shop. Guessing they'd charge you like 50 bucks, so unless you can find a place that is really reasonable or your not comfortable to do them yourself......
You can always practice on something else before doing it. Just take your time and don't hog on the paint and you will be fine. Let it dry and don't rush and you will be fine. You may need to re-primer them first so find out from you local Dodge deal what color primer is under your paint on your truck, that way you will get a better match when putting the color on your Eye Lids. It is very easy...

yes i agree with go fiberglass. I also have the fiberglass ones and had them professionally painted to match my patriot blue ram. I had my hood scoop, grille, eye lids, and fender flares all painted at the same time.

Thanks guys. They just came in the mail and I put them up on the truck and the fit is spot on, great quality. I am going to run to the local parts store right now to find some paint and clear. Thanks for the suggestion on the primer color, I will do that as well.

I will post some pictures when I get them all done!

Went to three different auto parts stores and they all carry duplicolor products, however there was no Sunburst Orange Color Code: PV6 at any of them, AND it wasn't even listed in the color book under 2008 Dodge Chrysler Jeep or any other year for that matter. I know the same color was called Mango on different years, but not listed in the duplicolor book. Any suggestions???

Try your local dodge dealer. They should have your factory paint in spray cans.
