Mine are dark gray. Take the visors off and clean the sticker surface with lighter fluid or Acrili-Clean or Prep-Sol vinyl cleaner. This will remove any oils and vinyl outgassing. Mask off the visor to keep the sticker surface exposed. Spray the SEM paint over the sticker in light coats, letting it set up between coats. Follow the instructions on the can. A couple of coats will completely cover the sticker. After about an hour of dry time, remove the masking tape, install the visors, and enjoy. The SEM paint remains plyable and won't peel off the vinyl if it's prepared properly.

Im not painting mine. 
My wife said she could get them off. She worked on the one for 2 hours and got maybe 1/8 of ONE off. The 2010 is definately different than the 2008 I had. The stickers came right off on my 08... the 2010 is a pain. I think Im going to just buy new ones. Maybe Ill have the wife keep working on them though.

The sticker is a different material. I had an 08 and the stickers peeled right off. I have a 2010 now. The sticker is completely different. It wont peel off. It just chips and breaks in TINY pieces.
