Happy to report that I finished painting my headlights, and it turned out sweet. I used Krylon Fusion Black Gloss paint and I have to say that I am extremely impressed with the stuff. So impressed infact that I am going to go ahead and paint my full interior. (something ive been debating for some time) Im going with flat black dash with gloss black accents/center console/trim/ect...
One thing that I found worked realy well for me when painting my headlights. I went out and bought a set of squeeze clamps with the rubber ends, and also a thing of 100% black silicon II adhesive, and made damn sure the lights werent going to let in any water or moisture. After re-melting the headlights to get them back together I put some of the adhesive along the edge, clamped the headlight together and then smeared some around the outside seam, then let the headlights stay clamped for 24 hours, then put them back on the car.
Great Modd Looks Sick Easy as following the instructions -Five Star Modd Rating all around-

Also I found that if you Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees then turn it off and put the headlights in, it was a lot easier to get them apart than pre-heating to only 350 degrees.

Almost forgot to thank both Sultan and narcolepsy123456 for their suggestion to use Silicone Adhesive. It worked great!

Saaaawwweeeeeeeet! For the price, you'll never find a better mod! (well except maybe a NOS sticker (JOKE!)) Makes SUCH a difference!
