possibly blacking out my headlights today

hi i am new to the forums. i have a few questions about blacking out my headlights that i would like to know before i actually did it.

1) what kind of paint should i get? The spray paint i have at my house says not to apply to anything that, when heated, exceeds 200 degrees. Should i find a spray paint that will stand against heat?
2) What do u think a good kind of sand paper would be to wet sand it with?
3) Should i primer before i paint?

Honestly man if you can afford it buy OEM blacked out lights from http://www.freestylemotorsports.com/...th=113_139_223
If you don't want the hassle,DIY blackouts can go wrong in more ways than one if not done perfect.
Also you will retain the stock lights when you decide to sell the car you can go back to stock
