Painted Front Tow Hook Cover

Hi all. (Yes, I'm still alive). Does anyone know where I can find painted body parts? I'm looking specifically for a front bumper tow hook in silver (D6S). I called my local dealers and they can only get the part in black. My only two options appear to be buy in black, get it painted (probably at an insane price), or to ring up some of the old GC club and get them to mail one to me (probably also will cost a ton).

😮 body shop painting a small thing like a tow hook shouldn't cost too much... hopefully you went to several shop for estimate

Haha, didn't even know this was an option. Where can I get a can?

Have you emailed Japanparts to see if the cover can be ordered pre-painted?

I thought Dupli-Color sells spray cans in OEM color codes, ask your dealer or Crappy Tire.
