Default Painting Fog Lights Help

This Friday I am going to bake my headlights, then paint them. I was wondering if anyone has done that to the fog lights or know another way to do it? I have a 2005, so they are the rectangular shape. Any help would be appreciated.

I did it, I only painted the bottom and top so they would have some reflection still, can't really tell a difference unless you look close but if you don't really use your fogs then paint te whole thing I guess

What do you mean? Did you bake them, then seperate the chrome housing and paint that? Like the headlights or what?
