I gotta get some sleep guys....ill be back on tomorrow. I'm tired
Most paint is ok. You can use high temp paint to be safe but it doesn't get that hot in there.
I painted mine with color matched spray from Sherwin williams but it is starting to show signs of age.

I had a friend at work who did his sedan lights in flat black and it didn't look that good. I would go with semi-gloss or gloss black on silver and black. The red, white and blue looks good with flat.

Just had a question..when you pop off the lenses...is there anyway to make them look new again...i mean...remove the pits from rocks and such before putting them back on???? Also, anyone know if there is a "DIY" on this with what grit sandpaper to use and what not???? i think i'm going to do this this weekend..
Very nice, what grit did you use to sand down the part with the lines? I'm having trouble right now because that area wont hold paint..
