I replaced mine not too long ago.
Open the door and remove the plastic cover around the filler pipe(4 screws if I remember right).
Using a short boxed end wrench you can remove the two nuts holding the door on.
Use lots of PB Blaster on these first and let it soak in. The bolts will snap rather easily.

your color might make it difficult to find a donor, though if it is possible, it is less hassle to just swap the door. If you have to paint, just paying for materials is cheap enough. Make sure the donor has good springs on the door also, because the springs are part of the door. Also make sure the donor has the gas door lock, which I am guessing yours does.

Sounds like he's going to remove, blast, and paint his current one.
