I have a 2007 Silverado Classic. Posting here so as I assume it's similar to 2006 models.



After 11 years and 140,000 miles, the fuel door spring has broke. I see on the parts list (GM1759102) that I can get one, from a lot of supplier's, but it's un-painted.



Does anyone know how I can get one to match my current silver paint?


Thanks,

Buy some touch-up paint and paint it yourself. It will save you a lot of time, trouble and money.

 

good point oldchevy. Actually, I can kind of paint but was hoping for maybe a pre-painted option.



What about custom, billet or carbon fiber replacement doors? Anyone do those? Are they bolt in replacements? Quality any good?


Thanks very much,

 

I made mine with lock as part of chevy trucks, with great success for last 2 years

 

thank you

 

pretty sure replacements either bolt or rivet into place.

 

I decided to use some small magnets, glued to the inside flange of the door. JB Weld sells a Super glue type material and with six small button cell type magnets, the door closes and stays closed very nicely.



My wife was happy I saved some money.
