What kind of paint do I use to paint the headlight bezel when I’m doing my Angel Eyes?
It’s going to need to be something that can with stand high amounts of heat but what kind of paint do I use?

the paint i used on for my eyelids is holding up very well, i would suggest "Krylon Plastic fusion" if you use a good number of layers you should be fine, just remember to let that paint dry between layers because one run can ruin this project.

I have had good luck as well with Krylon.

Should I spray some primer on the bezels before I paint them the color I want? I want them to be as glossy as possible!

If you want to color-match it, take a look at http://www.paintscratch.com/ . That's what I used to paint the color-matched Sirius antenna I have on my LS.
