    You can get a silver / chrome color paint pen from a hobby store to do the silver circle. It is not quite a bright as the factory finish but it is close and 99.9% of people that see it would never know.

    I should add, for the plastic. If the scratches are fairly light like from rags and napkins cleaning dust off the lens, you can polish them out with a little elbow grease and a 3 step process using NOVUS plastic polishes. I have used the NOVUS system to remove some pretty nasty sctratches in snowmobile windshields. It is good stuff.

    Search NOVUS plastic polish on line.

    :)

    For the "chrome" stripe I used silver pin-striping tape.
