Repaint car?

Repaint car?
Okay, so I just bought a CL-S6 and it has a few scratches and dents here and there... but the driver door is the worse. where the door ends, there are many nicks where you can see the bare metal!!
About how much would it cost to repaint the driver door? No dents.

I had a bad scratch on my passenger side door where you could see the metal. Got 2 estimates of $300 to repaint the entire door. Thats with taking off the molding and door handle to do it right so its not some half ass job.

It usually costs about $300-$500 to paint a panel. To paint an entire car will run you about 10 times that.
I got rear-ended and had my entire car re-painted. The owner of the body shop said it would have costed about $5000.
My advice, save the money and then have the door painted at a reputable place. It's not worth getting a shitty job. I would use touch up paint to cover it for now. I know it looks shitty, but sometimes you have to deal with it.

I got a quote of $700 to paint my door and blend it in with the rest of the car...
$300 is about right for a bumper repaint, so Ravi's estimate is right in there...

Out here in NJ bumpers etc. go for about 200/panel...doors & hoods are like 3ish. these prices are from very reputable shops in my area which are known for the quality of work that comes out of the shop....i also heard, things are a little bit cheaper in cali as there is more of a market for this stuff, therefore more competition. not sure how much truth there is to that statement. also, there was a thread with a diy on how you could fill scratches with touch up paint and by wetsanding and buffing getting the finish to look like the rest of the paint...
