Anyone know someone who paints cars cheap?

Last year I backed into a tree and had to replace the back door of my explorer and rather than paying $750.00 for a brand new door I found one on a junk yard for $75.00. Only problem was that it is a different color.

Here is a pic of the door. It is not that big of a surface and I would be willing to prepare the door for whoever paints it. Just looking for some quotes.

Thanks.

Just rattle can it  :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

I might. I have two cans of custom paint for my vehicle. I painted some small parts and they match perfect. I think if maybe I did it in a garage with no wind and was careful it may work.

Well I actually just decided to save myself a headache and I have hired Maaco for the job. They quoted me at $175.00 and I think that is more than fair. Just paint, primer and that other stuff is over $100.00  if I were to buy it and then I have to do all the work.... :bonk:
