Hi all, does anyone know where i can get a new / 2nd hand pearl white fuel filler door for my soarer, whilst filling up the hose swang around and broke it in two. I have been trying wreckers and import yards but to no success, the best they can do is offer me a green or silver one. would it be worth buying one and re-spraying it?

I think I have one, but with the freight costs, it'll probably work out just as cheap to get one resprayed. Although colour matching pearl white is a nightmare but you'll probably find differences in factory paint of that age now anyway.

I know it's nowwhere near you, but I can get good colour matching done at a place in Wollongong, south of Sydney.
They did a colour match for my custom pearl midnight blue 180sx, took the fuel filler door off, left it with them for a few days, came back and got the filler cap and a tin of paint.
The paint was perfect, and matched the rest of the car perfectly.
If you want colour matching, get electronic 'eye-matched' paint, and you probably wont notice the difference.
