Same problem here. I have insta-trim and just ordered the larger 16" lower tab section. I was just thinking of painting mine as well. They do sell a special paint that sticks better to plastic than your normal off the self stuff. I bought some a few years back from a local paint shop. Don't recall the name but I'll make a call tomorrow
