I have tried this. Sometimes it works and most times it does not.
The main issue is that the plastics expand a lot with heat, when the plastic parts have different thickness they expand different amounts so this will bend and change the shape of your parts.

Best idea if you're just wanting the cosmetics is to wrap the part wet lay style
