They sell a lens paint at the auto parts store specifically for that. Pretty easy clean with alcohol tape off and spray. Do one coat at a time till its to your liking.

I know it's kinda hard to see, but I used the lens paint and I think it looks really good. I taped off the the clear, and sprayed the rest.
