check your local junkyards for spare parts....but its easy to paint your plastics....you dont necessarily have to fiberglass them....just take the panels off....unscrew all the pieces and take the panels apart....clean them off...thoroughly...and then sand them down a bit...making them rough..not too much...if you plan on painting the vinyl theres no need to sand..youll just cut it all up...trust me..I made that mistake...after you make the plastic rough...or at least...as best you can....(like the vents and such)...I found that engine enamel works quite well...people have been arguing with me all day....but check out what my interior looks like...and let me know if you want me to let you know what I did...
