Black paint

Okay i'm going to be painting my headlight black. Just the chrome reflectors part. I want it to look like this




I have everything sanded down and i will be cutting the hole a little bigger tomorrow. I picked up krylon fusion satin black paint at walmart, it doesn't say anything about high temp. Will i be alright with this? I mean i dont want the paint to be flaking off or look like crap because of the constant heat/cold changes from the projector. I figured a few coats of primer then sand it down and a few coats of paint should get where i want it to be. What brand/models should i look for?

Thanks a bunch

I don't know how hot the projectors get, but I played it safe and used semi-gloss black engine paint. They turned out good, and I haven't had any issues so far.

Hope this helps.
