Go the way of the gear heads. They have paint that can handle like like 300°F engine blocks. If you are hotter then that you have other problems.
Edit: sorry looks like 500°F not 300°F
If want to paint it, you can have it
Either hours of buffing or using this.
Yes, I just unscrewed the top portion of the memory heatsink and used this:

Used 550*F blue paint on my calipers, as long as you don't have a brake problem, and not tracking your car you shouldn't have an issue.
VHT Engine Enamel, sir. ...and thanks!
Danm that looks pretty good. Did you do VHT primer also?

I have read many many topics on coating, and have seen thread after thread that VHT Engine Paint is as tough and durable as Cerakoat when coating steel (not polymer). It's easy enough to undo if you screw up, but if you Google around, you will see many successful good-looking rattle can VHT projects. It's not like your Norinco is a safe queen anyway, right?
They have blue caliper paint on Amazon.

Sorry, I know you don't care if the lights themselves get banged up. They are pretty cheap. But what if your insurance company gives you crap about other damage and says it's your fault because you went to non standard (and darker) lights? Might be seen as tampering with safety equipment? Maybe I'm too paranoid. Being a part from Malaysia, I doubt they are DOT approved after all...
Here's the caliper paint I used. My calipers were raw from the factory. My car didn't have any extra options. https://www.amazon.com/G2-Temperature-Caliper-System-G2162/dp/B000G28PPE/ref=pd_sim_263_4?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=FN0QH9C6TJ29P1ZVX6PW
I'm not sure if you should paint over the existing paint, or try a paint stripper first. All I needed was some patience. Good luck.
