Default I used auto touch up paint....no brush...spray can....super easy DIY :o)
you can take the top of the **** off, and remove the lens. leave the "golfball" part to paint. the "audi"ish logo was provided by Greyhound...

Default use a credit card, pull it up with your fingers, slip the card in and pry up all around
it pops off easy....then take a blunt "poker"(not a screw driver) and start pushing the lens away from the "golfball" part. there are 3 holes that you can use, do it evenly, as long as your stick or what ever is blunt you can push pretty hard....to get it out...thats it

Wait, you painted the leather/vinyl on the ****? Doesn't it come off when it gets wet?
