I got a set off of ebay with the puddle lamps and the smooth covers. They came with the covers detached so I sanded down the mirrors as smooth as possible and then primered them with a couple of cans of sandable auto spray can primer I got from Meijer. Some of my friends have used it with good results. I then used Duplicolor spray can for the white. I was looking for Krylon Fusion clear because everyone recomended it as some of the best, but you cannot find any here in town so I went to the automotive paint supply and picked up a couple of cans of clear from them. Everything came out pretty good. Tho my arm still hurts from sanding down those mirrors.

Even if the tabs break the caps are held on by double sided tape. The tabs are really flimsy. Heres a link that shows where the tabs are. http://www.gmfullsize.com/forum/showthread.php?t=36860

Summit white is the color, 50U in the glove box. I found a set of summit white handles on ebay and they match up perfect. Well almost perfect for 9 year old paint anyway.
