It stretches if you put it in a bath of hot water, but be careful
pulling it as the wing bolt holes produce a weak area, and it may
already be cracked.  The dull surface may come up better with
rubbing compound (for flatting dull paint).  If you paint them
separately, use a plastic primer, and it will do a reasonable job.
An air-brush with body colour paint is just the job to touch up the
beading if it looks dull.
