See my correction in my previous post. Wrong model!

The fender will require painting. They won't stock fenders in different colors. Even if they did, the colors wouldn't match and would have to be painted anyway. Some parts, like small trim parts may well come color-coded and some parts that are the same color for every car likely don't have to be painted.

H. Ford was smart in offering only one color!

They do deal with sub-assemblies on the assy line, but it is unlikely you would get one for a replacement fender. You can buy an entire front end, from the firewall forward and you still won't get any small parts.
