Does regular paint work on headlights?

[Agnu]

I still have a full black metallic can of duplicolor that i used to paint my rims.( It says used for ideal trims, use over any factory style finish)
And i am about to paint the inside of my headlights... the underside. I was wondering if i had to get a special paint for the plastic or would this one just work? thanks

get one for plastic, trust me, and don't forget the plastic "primer" you will definitely see the difference in paint if you dont follow the instructions and take your time-

Anything that is high temp so no fading or cracking. I used regular paint the first time around and it did jsut that. I just recently redid my headlights with high temp engine manifold paint

use a high temp spray paint
