Paint color for inside headlight.

Well, I was gonna AE my headlights so I was prepping the surface by cleaning the inside headlight with windex. Big mistake, now the reflective silver paint has come off and I now have several big blotches with no silver paint. My question is what kind of paint and what color should I buy to repair the inside of the headlight? I know it has to be able to with stand high tempurature but didn't know what to look for. Thanks for the help.

Well, I was doing clean up from my 9007 harness upgrade. I had sanded the 2 side nubs off so the 9007 bulb would fit. It made a lot of dust on the inside of the headlight and I was just trying to clean it all off. Any idea of the color of paint that will be a reflective as the old silver paint?

They are custom made. They include two 6" CCFLs, five 168 red bulbs and chrome gauge rings. I have pics lying around somewhere but I'll have to look for them.
