Water Hatch Door

[Barrier2]

As I'm kicking myself I figured I'd post this to perhaps get some help.
I decided to winterize my 2001 36' Dynasty today. As I was finishing up it was getting a bit dark so I started to rush. Bad move! I finished up in the water service bay and stepped back to close the door not bothering to notice that the water fill door (right next to the service door) was fully opened. Using a little effort to overcome the struts I pressed down and broke the Water Fill door in 3 pieces.
I have been searching for a replacement I think it is an Attwood but I cannot find one B&B seems to be making the correct one. I will most probably buy the whole fill hatch and just use the door. My problem is (aside from getting the Hatch that matches) the Hatch is painted one of the three colors on my coach (at least it's a solid color not 2). I have some numbers and a side view of my coach in the Owners Box. Mine is the Dynasty Special Edition Aqua Mist and the color code is D-20131 for that paint. Does anyone have an idea where to get this paint? I did a Forum search where "GoneFishin" mentioned that the color code was also on the driver seat pedestal so I can verify. Should I bother or just find an Automotive paint shop with the ability to mix it? I am then going to try and use an air brush to paint the new Hatch or Door.
thanks in advance

Barrier 2.....Monaco will email you all of your colors if you ask, that's the good news. The bad news is that I found it impossible to locate. They use Sherwin Williams paint, which has been discontinued because it's laquer based. Most of the new paints are water based...God Bless the EPA. After chasing around for weeks, I just took one of my panels to an automotive paint store and had them mix up the colors.

Barrier2 email Jason and give him your coach # and he will email you your paint codes.

The color may have faded a bit. Take the broken door to an Automotive paint supplier and they can match it for you. Paint these days is generally a base coat with clear coat over it. No more simple aerosol spray cans of lacquer. Takes mixing two parts with limited time for use thereafter. Might be best to take the old and new door to an auto body shop and have them paint it for you. Also may be less expensive than doing it yourself considering the amount of product you will have to purchase for such a small job.

Thanks to all for your help.
hardy1000, Jason got back to me with the numbers.
I am going to order a new Water Fill. I'm going to try and glue the old door back together, if I can find the right glue it might work. These doors seem to be ABS so a water pipe solvent glue might work if I can glue a reinforcement behind it. I might as well since I will have to wait anyway .I really don't have much confidence in that. I will have to wait for the new Hatch and locate an Autobody shop not too busy. All else fails I can practice with my HF HVLP paint gun.
