Hi Bob. Thanks. Is it possible to repair it?

ADV, There is just scraping on the cover. It's not holed or leaking in any way. So it could be cleaned up and painted if your of a mind. Tell. me which side you're interested in and I can take a picture for you.

Bob - that will buff right out. Big Grin No seriously, you may be able to take that to a good body shop and they can fix that up so that it looks perfect. Probably cheaper than a new one too.

Yep, that looks like a easy repair.
Here's the paint code.

Thanks. But I can't find that paint to buy.

I solved the problem. For $ 25.
