Bill,

Best match for most of the silver trim on these cars is Krylon dull aluminum, although there are probably other
brands that have something equivalent.

Or, fire a check off to Chris for some brand new lenses already painted up - just screw them on.

We use a silver aluminum colored spray paint on our lenses and they look pretty good.  When you use a dull / flat paint, it will shine more than you might think on the visible side because the plastic has reflective properties.  I have plenty of lenses in stock now if you decide to buy your girl some new jewelry.  :D
