is it possible to paint fog lights?

I got a set of Piaa 1900 http://www.2kracing.com/product_info...oducts_id/3646
they're metallic with a silver front. I was wondering if its possible to paint the shiney front of them. I have a 2003 black CL-S and i want to put these in the roadlamp housing, but I don't want them to stick out so much because the rest of the car is black. Does anyone know how hot these get, like would spray-on caliper paint withstand the heat that these give off? Anyone try anything like this or seen it done before? Thanks in advance.

I wouldn't be concerned about heat. Use flat black BBQ paint, they'll pretty much dissapear in that road lamp spot.

one other quick thought on this....the fog lights have plastic and rubber that I wanted to paint, will the caliper paint stick to the plastic all right?
