Smoked/Blacked headlight question

I am going to take apart my headlights this weekend and black them out...

BUT

I will NOT clear my corners, i love the orange thing at night or early morning... JUST like the 03 CLs have it... black housing and orange reflector

Question:

What kind of paint should I get?
Any brand? What store?
What kind of price range am i looking at?
Brush on or spray paint

Thanks

You want some high temp paint, sprayed on. BBQ paint is good for that. For a few bucks you can get them at most hardware stores. I painted my Y-pipe with 680 C BBQ paint. They are good enough for direct exposure to flames. So I know they'll hold up when my Y-pipe ever becomes flammable
