For a cheap fix, take some aluminum foil or some other type of foil, lay it inside the housing and use a burnisher to get it even and flat. Should be reflective enough for the fog lights. Got nothing to lose by trying it.

The chrome piece is a reflector. Painting it any color is going to kill your light output.
