I'll check the fields I camp in next time, or put 'er in doors' [the wife] outside to scare them off she'd scare a Lion off.

Try the only place you can that is car spares shop or Halfords or search net but you won't get an exact match as the existing will be 'weathered'. I have been looking around the auto colour sections of Halfords and couldn't get an exact match. When you spray or hand paint it don't forget the laquer finish to seal it. If you hand paint try finding an auto colour shop that will mix up the colour obviously you will have to take a colour matching piece if you have a bit left loose.
