Default Headlight question!

Decided to de-tango my blobeye this coming weekend.
I also want to paint the inner surrounds black.
Can anyone advise me on what paint to use?
Cheers!

When you do it allow the primer to set for a least an hour or so and 2 x coats of black which you should allow 24hrs to dry fully before you put the lights back together....
