Product review (1 stars): Buying black or painting are both great solutions. We simply fold a small paper towel ...
I actually called GE to re-order this piece of junk. They wanted an outrageous amount also. I informed them that it was nothing but cheap covered plastic and certainly not worth it. After arguing for a while, they sent it to me for $15 plus shipping.  Buying black or painting are both great solutions. We simply fold a small paper towel to cover it and it has stayed new looking for a few years now..
