Default Factory painted part ?

Lookin' to replace the tour pak wrap around light housing (58385-93) with a factory painted one if possible. I can remove it, drive to the painter that's about 70mi. round trip, but that means down time about a month. I would rather just buy one already painted and swap it out with no down time. Anybody know where I can buy one already painted Midnight Pearl?

Thanx
Gabe

Two possibilities that I can think of: either a dealer, who may be able to order you a factory painted one, although that could take several weeks for delivery; or buy a new one yourself and get it painted at the painter of your choice.

Thanks! I'm gonna give the dealer a call today. If I can't buy one factory painted I'll probably buy a used one on e-bay for ~$40 then take it to a painter.

I suspect the used one will be the cheapest and probably quickest option!

I'm not sure it either. I'll check with the dealer later today.

Dealer said no go on the factory painted one so I bought one off of flea bay and I'll have to get it painted. Thanx, was worth a try!
