Default Painting Headlight Bezels
I want to paint my headlight bezels. Any particular paint I need to use on the plastic? Any suggestions on good paint? I want to paint them either silver like my car or chrome again.

I reopened my headlights because they had condensation. The chrome is in bad shape, so thats why I wanted to repaint it.
