Need to paint my NEW DOOR

[creeg]

I dont see how they could charge that much just to paint a freestanding door. A couple years ago, I went to a junkyard and got a new door for my dented one, took it to a shop, and they repainted it AND swapped the hardware AND remounted it for under $200. It didnt have power locks or power windows, but still- you should not have to pay $400.

The only thing Im not sure about: when you say you need to paint the door jams- what do you mean? is that part of the door opening, or part of the door itself?

Are you JUST getting the door painted, or some other part of the car, too?

You mention the quarter panels in your post, so dont know if you are talking about somethign else.

Frank.....get with Angelo, on Carswell av. in Holly Hill. Between like 5th and 6th. Another good choice is Jim Olmstead at Collision Station, right in your neighborhood and my name carries a bit of weight there (you'll be treated fairly anyhow and the paintwork is good) By the by... you can't show up with just the doorskin (or door) we need the car to match the color. I'd suggest us, but we're just slammed, booked for the next six weeks, at least . Look, if you get no satisfaction down there, give me a call, we'll work something. Wayne

thanks everyone for the support.. I live inorlando now so I might try to get some estimates around here. I think 475 from maaco is a bit much considering the doors already gutted and ready to hang. I'll call the places around daytona.. wouldn't mind spending a few days out there hangin out while my truck gets worked on.
