   its a good spray job and matches well. but it makes the back look wierd. back looks wider with it black

   ill have a look in the morning, bit dark at the mo. if i use thinners though and it drips or runs on to other paint will it harm it?

   i wouldnt attempt it. anything that would take the paint off is likely to damage the plastic. you wont be able to get it back to standard.
   
   you could sell it or swap it with someone who has a standard one. or you could paint it black which is what a few people are doing now anyway. just paint the other plastic bits on the vt kit to match.
