    My suggestion would be to mask the edges and face, and use good 'ole Krylon Fusion for plastic. That does mean that you have a shiny black rather than matte or textured, but it works.

    Ok well went with the paper idea. Went well, simply marked it out with the plastic as template then used a stanley to cut out.Then just got a black perm marker to turn the white edges from the cutting black. Ended up looking nice and thanks for responses...
