Who here has painted headlights?

Hmm, I'm still on the fence on doing this. I want to DIY it but I'm scared I'll mess up things again. I don't want the housing to simply be black. I want to leave the flat part at the bottom chrome, while painting the rest black. Then I want to put a strip of CF over the amber reflector and stick an amber LED strip as the light. I tried doing multiple colors on my engine cover and it came out nasty, paint bled over, over spray. I would pay to have it professionally done but I won't be able to drive for a while since my bumper will be off and no headlights. Plus, I don't expect it to be cheap either and I could get a front lip probably instead.

Hey guys, would you mind posting a list of items needed to do this mod? e.g. I want to make sure to buy the right paint being that it gets pretty warm in there[?] I'd like to go black chrome. Would also like to smoke out the amber parts buy not sure how to do that [what is CF?] Thanks hope to hear from you. - Randall

Dont mind the dirty car in the first pic. Sprayed the housings gunmetal while doing my projector retrofit. Then blacked our the fogs and sprayed the reflectors yellow.
