White back plates.. Why so hard to find?

Has anyone else found a place that sells white (not cream) back plates/covers for an Epiphone Les Paul? I can't seem to find them anywhere.

You dont want the white. You want the cream.

You will find those are hard to come by. Finding one that will fit is the main problem. Greasy Groove is the only place I know of that will have one that actually fits right, but they are not cheap.

I made my own out of a sheet of black plastic and they all were diffrent by just a little so I dont know how you would order one that fit right.

i got the same problem non of the ones i found would fit. so i just got one that didnt fit and drilled new holes and shaved it down a bit. looks horrible because i did it real quick but its effective.

Get some Krylon Fusion paint.....the stuff works great on plastic, did my truck's grill 8(or so) years ago with the black and it still looks new.
