I can powder coat in various colours, any ideas what other colours may look good? I did that in a matt black rather than gloss (well 80% matt %20 gloss mix so it has a small shine) Will add another photo once its on the car.

If its tough enough for them then im sure you couldnt do much to damage paint on a petrol cap unless you were purposely trying. Unfortunately though i cant do exact colour matches, as i only have colours that are allready used by customers at my disposal. We have plenty of colours including blue but how close it would match to the car i would have to check.
