use to paint headlights a lot for IS300s... no u don't need to prime, sanding it would be good enough. Also, i don't think high temp paint is absolutely necessary, it gives you a peace of mind but its not likely that it would bubble. I painted a few sets of headlights with custom paint to match other people's car (non high temp) and no one has complained of bubbles...

Do you prime before painting or just sand?
Wonder how this would look in a matching DB instead of black (if the paint could be somehow made high-temp)

also, instead of the clear strip..why not paint the orange one with a white base coat and then a coat of light silver
might give the same effect
im gonna do that if Mr zipps cant make clear strips

Zipps, if you can fabricate these clear strips, people are going to be knocking down your door. Please please let us know when you can 
Finally I got to see your work and you sir will definately be getting a set of lights from me shortly after you give us the OK on clear strips.

Bat,
Does your turn signal seem less intense?
It seems like the loss of the reflective backing may reduce the appearance of a bright enough signal....??
