Where to get body coloured arches from?? I keep seeing cars with them but i cant find them for sale anyware, Does anyone sell em? Or is it a case of buying standard arches and getting a block of sandpaper out?

It is a bit of a sod to do, you basically have to prime/smooth each part about 4 times then skim, prime and paint it again.
