painting the headlights black

okay. i've searched. can someone tell me what kind of paint i should get. i know how to take the lenses of and everything. i just need what type of paint should i use.. and do i need to use a primer(what if i don't)? what about the clear coat(what if i don't)? i heard u should use a high temp paint and you shouldn't mix it with primer(or clear coat).. not sure. thanks!
