...and just so you know....Frogs are one of the worst frames to custom paint. The painting part isn't bad, but getting the lenses back into the frame without damaging the paintjob can by a real pain. Almost any other pair would be a better starting point for customs.

just about as bad...flat lens frames tear up the paint when re-installing the lenses...just part of the deal

You may need t do some touch up once they are installed. I have had good luck with high quality plastic paint. Maybe start with the icons and see what you think.

The most expensive spray that's main use is for plastic lol. I may also point out that I am basically a noob to this and am considering leaving this to the pros. But icons I can handle.
