How do u paint a windscreen?

I just bought a front upper from manuel motorcycles in OH and the windscreen that came with it has some **** on the screen. I just got it in the mail so i haven't seen if it will come off yet but i wanted to know how do u paint the windsreen where it looks good. Can u use car paint? What's the best way to prep it for paint.

Why wouldn't you just buy a new windscreen? They make all sorts of different colors for them. I have a dark smoked zero-gravity on mine. I love it.

You can read... NOT! He never specifed how much he was wanting to spend. He said he needed a better looking windscreen, so thats what I suggested. Now, if he said "I need to fix my windscreen via the cheapest way" then I could understand your point, jackass.
