Someone backed into my car yesterday. first time my R3 has been hit
Ive never been happy with any paint work that ive seen done to cars to go in to fix dents / scratches or Color changing a door to match a car.

I was thinking of trying to find a Aurora Blue Rear passenger door to replace mine that got hit. and avoid going to body shop.

Am I being to picky? or should i just let a body shop take care of it...

If anyone else has done this.. What are some good websites to look at for Parts? I found this...
Used Auto Parts - Car Parts - Truck Parts - Body Parts - Engines - Wheels - Bumpers - Lights but ive been on hold for 20 mins so far

Advice?

 

I mean, a true body-shop with their own paint shop better be able to mix factory paint for the door - or any paint so long as you know the paint code for it. If they don't then run.

Are you looking to get a new door and worried about that being painted wrong, or having the dent popped out (if it could) and thinking they would only touch-up the dented area?

I think as long as you get the door, having it re-painted is the best option, as dents can be huge and costly to repair if they are big.

 

Im not sure its possible to pop this dent out??

 

See if car-part dot com has one to your liking.

They could do a bondo on it, and could be much cheaper than buying a new door...

 

You wouldn't believe what types of damages people are repairing here. Most of the cars I see, look like their last destination is scrapyard, but after the repairs you can't even tell if it was crashed at some point.

What I want to say is that any good shop can repair the door and match the color without a problem. The only question is how much are they gonna charge, and can you find a reliable paint shop in your area
