Got backed onto my door

If this girlfriend should become your wife you have one over your prospective soon to be father-in-law for decades to come! Priceless.

I was quoted for a replacement of the door outer panel part. The outside of the door is a separate sheet of metal from the door frame that slides in and is glued on. *wonder if this is the only aluminum part of the door* I don't like the prospect of painting the whole side of the car, but they state that matching/blending the paint by painting only the door is not possible. *

They are being forthright with you as they will skin the door and repaint. The paint match will depend on several key factors that a good painter understands and can achieve.

they can paint only the door and get it to match if they are wanting to put the itme into it. will take them some tries.

May not be a bad idea to get the c/f door

and just get that painted.

but yeah depends on the quality and effort the body shop wants to put in. Will def need new door panel.
