High Temp Gray Paint?

On the driverside Euro lights I installed, the gray plastic has got some tan color to it from sun exposure. Is there a high temp gray paint I can use?

Thanks!

Mine are both tanned too. I am just going to use standard gray paint, any high temps will melt the plastic before the paint goes.

Good idea. I was thinking high temp due to some of the heat from the lights hitting the plastic, but then again, like you pointed out, the plastic would melt, and it has not done so yet.
