Can you get replacement toe eye covers in body color already painted? Managed to loose money at Donny the other week!

Our is it just a case of getting a cover and having it painted?

I lost mine on a Peridot Green CR and they were only available in primer ....

The lesson here is to completely remove the cover rather than leave it hanging on its retainer whilst on track ... if you do, sooner or later the retainer will break.

I left mine in primer until I needed some other rash repainting ...

Possibly. Needless to say I haven't read the manual!

You can, but you’ll pay handsomely for the privilege …

I'd probably try painting it with a few coats from a colour matched rattle can, then a few coats of clear lacquer from a rattle can first of all and see how it looks.
If it doesn't work, then a local body shop should be able to paint it cheaply
