  • i'll do it for a tenner and i'll bring my own paint roller...

    seriously though can't you just source a door that's the same colour as your car? might be a more cost effective option even if it means a bit of travelling to pick if up.

    (of course i'm just assuming you need a replacement door for your car and have found a suitable one that's a different colour in the scrappies. forgive me if i'm way out here.)

    Personally I wouldn't bother, I'd have a two tone car.

    You do realise that if you do get it sprayed it will be obvious when you look at the car, that it has a new door? The only way to try to avoid this is to respray the whole of the side of the car.

    You can overspray about half the length panels on either side.

    However, I had a noticable dent , dinner plate size, pulled out, filled and door painted as above for £270 recently

    That is quite cheap for a proper repair. You could easily pay another £50+ on top of that.

    lol- I paid £650 for a full respray, inc moulding skirts to body and fabricating a new front mount for bumper...

    It was already part-paid though in doing a few photos for the sprayer. Fantastic job, was very well pleased. Was just going the same colour as original had been.

    That's extremely cheap though due to the photography, on average over here a body panel would be 100-150 for spraying only.
