Check your local body shop. I was going to buy one from someone that sells them already painted and they wanted 400 bucks. My body shopped charged me $125 dollars and it matches perfectly! And it was done the same way the place I was going to buy the 400 dollar one from.

DIY for me. I just took it off, cleaned it, scuff, cleaned and painted. 3 years later it still looks good.
If you want it nice and smooth you might sand a little more and primer it. Since it's barely shown I just scuffed and painted mine.

Even if you have to have it painted at a bodyshop, it shouldn't cost that much.

I had mine painted at a bodyshop for 75.00 and it looks great! Easy to clean.
