i baked it at 225 degrees for about 12 minutes. i started at the bottom and started seperating it with my fingers. was pretty easy. i painted them and put them back in the oven. then put them back together. i'll have pix when i install them on the car.

In regards to painting the reflector, if I had to do it again, I would paint the reflector black, but leave the smooth part of the outer bowl silver....I think thats how the original one was done....
