Painting T/A taillight grids

I have a set of 86 T/A taillights for my car. I know the outer part is supposed to seperate from the inner part somehow (because NextGen sells just the outer part), I wanted to know if anyone had painted the inside of their taillight "grids". My driver's side looks like water or something got in-between the clear plexi and the black trim & I wondered if I could paint the black part to match the car (or paint the tailights from the inside -similar to a slot car body). Has anyone done this???

Also, I just purchased some of the spray today for my extra pair of TA tailights to experiment on.
