Half door painting

[Krissie]

Hi Guys,

I've been in the market for some half doors and I found a set of OEM that include the grey interior panels that match the interior of my 1997 TJ. They are dark green and my ride is a navy blue. I figured a dark paint over a dark door would work out ok. Surprisingly they have almost no rust, just a spot less than the size of a quarter on the bottom where it looks like it had been scratched from storing them.
Anyone have a general estimate for the cost of painting just the half doors? I understand there are different quality paint jobs, but I am looking for just a basic paint job. Also, there are several body shops in the area to choose from, and a friend suggested even going to Maaco. Have any of you used Maaco or should I avoid them?
Any thoughts? Thanks.

I priced it out last week and they quoted me $800 for the pair to paint. I got a quote to have them wrapped and it came to $300.

That is Canadian btw.

Two years ago I bought some full doors that I needed painted. I also bought a windshield frame from Crown to replace the rusted out original. I got all three pieces done for $600 at Maaco in Southeastern Massachusetts. I removed the interior panels before dropping them off. I’ve been happy with the job they did.

If you take them apart and put them back together you are looking at 500-600 ish. That blur actually matches pretty good
