In what way?

If you want to paint them, yes you could.

Yes, you can.

You should be able to find a few DIY's if you search a bit.

I always foil my baking sheet too, shiny side up so it disperses the heat instead of absorbing it.

Nooooo.

I do 5 minute increments (I check every 5) at 225 degrees.

Re: (Eran)

it depends what type of oven you're using...
generally turn theoven on at 300F for 5 mins
then turn it off put the bakin sheet on the bottom and place your headlight in...
leave it there for 10 mins(while the oven is off) and then with a philips screw driver pry it open
