Default Type of [spray]paint for headlights?

I know someone on here has already done it, but I forget their name at the moment. Im looking to paint the interior of my headlights to match my Super White.

Does anyone know a good type of paint to use for this? I know a high-heat type is a must, but when I tried this in the past with a few cans from a local auto-dealer, the white faded to a semi-disgusting yellow in only a few months.

If anyone has any experience with this and can tell me which paint to use, I would appreciate it. Much thanks!

I used engine enamel on mine, but the paint was black so no fading. Maybe go over the white with a high quality clear?

Yeah id go with the clear definitely at the end, but I dont think that would protect the fading from the sun.

Get a clear that provides UV protection.
