Painting t-tops?

I seen a post where someone didn't like the appearance of t-tops. I'm just wondering that if you wanted to, could it be possible to paint the t-tops to match the rest of your car? How could you do this?

Yeah, as long as you rough of the glass, just use some sand paper the primer should take to it pretty good, just rought it up pretty good, use a thick primer, then some fine sand paper, get it REAL smooth again then paint it.

Do it to a junk set, cause once you sand that glass you'll need to replace them or get them professionaly repaired if you change your mind.

Ok. that's guys. I'm not actually going to do it to the ones I already have, but it would be kinda neat to have an extra set of t-tops painted to match my car.
