I am in exactly the same position, and Epsom green ironically also.
I ended up buying a tonga green upper tailgate off the bay, from a 2008 model and will use a decent bodyshop to prep and paint.
Mine had a bit of rust starting from inside, and a bad filler job in the middle.
Couldn't do anything with it, so got another, with no rust and no previous repairs.
I got one with factory privacy glass in, when I needed clear, so will have to pay around £40 for the glass to be swapped.......it was the best tailgate..........
Unless you get the same batch code of epsom green, you cannot guarantee a perfect match, and would end up painting it anyway.
I'd have loved to get one and just swap it, just not 100% sure its actually achievable.
For reference, the upper tailgate will lay flat in the car with the rear seats down.....
All the best
