Painting my Altezza's

I want to paint my chrome Altezzas black to match my trunk. I just want to paint the two pieces that are attached to the trunk, to give a kind of Lex IS 300 look (the only thing I can compare it too)...

1) Is there a special kind of paint I should use?
2) How to I separate the plastic cover, and then re-attach it securely?

use paint from www.paintscratch.com, to open use a heat gun. Likewise to close. However if you're wanting it to look like an IS300 then don't open them and paint them. Just paint on the lens.

On the lens or inside the part of the lens?
