Facelift headlamps

I've got spare headlamps but not a good matching set 
So has anyone managed to 'paint' the inner of a prefacelift headlamp to get the desired effect - if so, what's best.
BTW - car sailed through MOT regardless today
Cheers
Paul

Good news Paul !.  . You may have seen THIS which shows the finished result but there is no mention of the type of paint used. I don't think the author still uses the site and Craig left a long while ago. Hope to see you on Sunday, Mike.
