i have a 97 saturn. like most saturns, my whole rear end is pretty much a tail reflector. how would i go about painting over this so it would match the paint to the rest of my car?

I would sand it first of all, and get a primer for plastics (same one used for bumpers). I seen where someone tried to paint right over a reflector and it flaked off, and looked terrible.
