Just went and picked up my parts at the painter's last night and I am very pleased with them. I thought I would put the repainted cover next to the NOS one and see what you guys think. I used my phone for the pictures, I hope they turned out good.

Bottom one is NOS, only can tell due to the gloss levels, color looks bang on.

Upper right corner looks like a sharper angle on the NOS one...

Might just be an optical illusion due to seeing part of the front face of that side...

Is it a reproduction cover?

NOS cover vs one that's been repainted twice since its original color.

I haven't adjusted the color correction on my display, but they sure look identical to me.

I thought they were one NOS and one reproduction, painted at the same time.
