Factory painted fuel door

I recently had some work done at what is supposedly the best paint and body shop in the area. They did a horrible job and after five trips back to them to fix their problems, they got the car in somewhat decent condidion so I'm telling the BBB to go ahead and close the complaint. One thing that is not quite right is the fuel door. It just doesn't match like I think it should, even after being repainted twice. I'd like to get another fuel door from Honda, but only if it comes factory painted so I know it'll match almost perfectly. Does anyone know if things like that come painted, or if I'd have to have a shop paint it to match after ordering?

You could always paint it yourself, if you are comfortable with that. Automotivetouchup.com; from your neck-of-the-woods (LA) has spray paint that matched-up well with my SSM; when I painted my mud guards. Primer, paint color and clear coat cost @ $45.

That sucks man. You can hit up the dealer and ask them, I imagine they could have it matched. If anything they can tell you someone else to go to hopefully.
