The painting part is easy, any panel beater should be able to do that for ya. As for getting the cover off it's a case of heating the seal in the oven. I doubt any panel beater would do this as it's a bit risky and besides if they did it and stuffed your lights i doubt they would replace them.

Get them apart, then take it to a panel beater.

I really like the first pic actually but I'd bet that the reflective qualities would be significantly effected (as in light going everywhere) and that they would be classed as a defect.

Not a fan of the same colour job, looks...I dunno, a bit "80'ish", like something you'd expect to see on an older car.

if your chromed them then it mite effect the spread of light but i wouldn't think by much as FTO's have projector headlights. Main problem would be the highbeams. Other wise your could paint them silver. probably wouldnt cause as much of a problem
