    I found a used one, but it will need a little work to clean up some scratches on the end cap. I tried my local Autobody shop and they won't even try to match the paint (I think they don't think it's worth their time).

    Thanks,
    Cheers,
    Corey

    They are not painted, it’s anodized aluminum.

    OK, I guess I'll have to research how to fix a scratch on anodized aluminum.

    Raimondo is correct. But with that said, I did use a base coat on mine and had a vinyl Ferrari decal made to complete the restoration.

    Anodization is quite a simple, cost effective and is a rugged coating for aluminum. Only issue is there is no way to repair a defect.

    Your options are:
    -Live with it
    - experiment with various spray paints and try to get it close enough.
    - have it anodized, still prob won’t match exactly but will be closer.
