Scope Refinishing

Has anyone "refinished" an old gloss scope to match a matte or camo rifle? I want it to look nice and am not sure about adhesion.
 
i have not done a gloss scope but i have done a nice blued barrel, i just cleaned it really good with acetone and put light coats on. has stood up pretty well.
 
If you don't want to go to the trouble of lightly sanding it first, pick up some 'self-etching' auto primer (I found some in a spray can at Wally World) and use light coats, but shake it really well before use...
 
Spradlins and a few other offer the service. Should I mask the glass and put a film of oil under the caps?

Thanks.

OT - How about we get Palin to take care of the sociopaths & liberals?
