Headlight Painting?

hey guys i see that some of u either paint or put a sticker on the top if your headlights so give it a different shape. im not exactly sure if its paint or not but can one of u guys explain how its done? (i'm not asking about painting the inner part of the lamp, im talking about the top part of the outer shell) thanks
