paiting rear door.

My rear door has a pretty big dent in it and was giving an estimate of anywhere between $600-$1000 to fix it. So instead of fixing that i was able to get a new door for $150. Only problem is that the door is gray and my car is velocity red. I am wondering how much it would cost to paint the door red? Any estimates? Also was $150 for the door a steal?

I'm gonna guess that it will cost just a little bit more than what the door costed. Red paint is expensive... Our red paint is more expensive.

Someone posted just that in another thread... it looked like a striped turd.

The one exception might be for a BB rx8.
