The procedure is pretty easy and it only takes a couple of hours.

First, tape the back side of your lenses so that they don't get paint on them. That is the only place you don't want to get paint on. Next place your glasses on a flat surface and start painting. You want the front to be uneven and dripping, but the sides should be even and smooth. Once everywhere is covered , leave your glasses in a dry cool area. When the paint dries take a Popsicle stick and uses it to scrap of chunks of the paint. To replicate Casey's glasses you need to leave a thing layer at the edge of the lenses. As for everywhere else, you should take of the vast majority of the paint.
