SMH! Neighbor's teenage daughter reverses out of their driveway...right into my car

I took the G into a local body shop. Repair bill is $1400 and includes replacement rear door (used), repair scratches on front door, and repaint the whole side of the car.
Replacement door I found turned out to be the wrong color. Too bad, because I would have been fine with that option if the paint was reasonable close.

The pricing on that sounds about right. Two years ago I had some drunk kick in both of my rear door panels, luckily we found out who it was. The shop ended up "skinning" both doors where they lay another body panel over the door and resprayed both sides of the car and it cost the person who kicked it about $3200.

Atleast not here in Canada.
If you want my opinion, just repaint the replacement door and ask the shop to match the color to the adjacent panels as close as possible.
Repainting the entire car over just a door is over kill especially if you only have 1400.
Work on the part that messed up and fix it up properly rather than repainting parts that really have nothing wrong with them.

1400 wont cover the cost to repaint the entire car.

I am also going to repaint the plastic side skirts (and possibly the wheels) black.

I'd really question the quality of a $1000 total repaint....especially a color change
I had my Mustang repainted factory black back in 2001...total bill was $4500ish. It didn't even need bodywork, that was striping it down, removing trim, lights, etc and doing a total repaint.
