or rhino line it, it'll probably look cool. Or go to autozone or something and find paint that is close, probably like $4 a can + around 10 for primer and sandpaper...

Gas Cap Broken
Just get the new one/used one and depending on the color of your vehicle paint it a solid color , have done this before instead of the paint matching thing and it looks nice , other than that you may be able to get the small pressurized can of touch up paint from the dealer by VIN # and re-paint yourself but beware the old paint won't match that nice fresh original paint color , thats why I generally just paint a solid color according to the color of the vehicle and looks nice , otherwise get a used one or new one and have the paint shop do the matching on your existing paint and paint for you but I think you will find that will be rather pricey unless you have a bud that is in the business .

I know this is an old thread but for anyone else searching you can replace the hinge. Lube up the broken pieces with a good penetrating oil. Then use vice grips until they move freely. Then use a small punch to drive out the pin from one end. Then pry it away from the hinge a little and drive it the other way. This allows you to reuse the same fuel door which is important if you paint has faded any.
