   Some little sh*t chucked a brick at my car last night and damaged the door.
   I was just wondering if anyone on here could give a a estimate on how much it would cost to get the door resprayed.
   
   Thanks

   or approx 40 pounds for a good used door if you can find one the right colour, that way it stands a better chance of being a tip top match. whats the colour code,looks like EYC Quartz from the photo?

   Yeah that would of done a treat but it's for a 172
   It is dented a little bit.
   What do you think maximum cost would be £200? £250?
   Thanks for the replies

   Well it depends really, some body shops may just bodge it and say sand it fill it blend it in, probably looking at 100 for that, but othesr will respray the whole panel which will be from 150-300 but check that they are a decent body shop not a shitty one
