I don't need paint them, you can polish them.. Regular polish paste for cars..
I go for 1200 grit wet sand, then to 2000 grit wet sand.. If lights don't have big scratch, then you don't need pass them with 120 ,240 ,400, 800 papers, go with wet sand..

Permatix makes a headlight restoration kit which I just used on my Insight. It worked very well, but took about an hour to do one lens. It comes with all the stuff necessary. First sand with the 1500 grit, then the 2000 grit, then the 2500 grit and then finally polish with a plastic polish. Been meaning to do it for a while on the FC.
I don't recommend painting the lenses though. Clear coat on plastic almost always seems to yellow quickly.
