Dark grey panels?

So I have a 1994 CSI Camry (2.2L 5S-FE engine) that i got a few months ago. I had no RWC due to a smashed door. I bought a new door and magically found a colour that matched the rest of the car, however the guard was also bent and wouldn't fit properly so i had to get a new front right hand guard. This, unfortuneatly, was green!!

I've dealt with it for a few months and have tried varies wrecking yards to find one that matches the car but haven't had any luck around the gold coast (in queensland).

So basically i'm asking if anyone has one in the same colour, or an old car of around the same model that would switch with me if i paid them for it, or even if anyone could point me in a direction to getting one.

I've at getting it re-sprayed but that would cost $150-$200 when a guard will cost $50-$100 second hand

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Why don't you just grab a rattle can and give it a spray of paint. Colour coded cans are only about 15 off the shelf. It doesn't have to be perfect. And the grab a can of clear coat to gp over the top.

Would that actually work and not look completely dodgey?

I mean, i'm not going for a show car look or anything, i just want it to look like it's the same colour

Can i get the paint supercheap auto/autobahn?

haha i done this yesterday, its not hard, just be careful and put light layers on. you can always do more layers but if you do too much in one it will need sanding back and respraying cause it will run.
