Rep Power: 0 05' Civic Ex Couple Door Skin Damage
Hello. My Civic was backed into and there is damage into the passenger side door panel. I was thinking of having a new OEM door skin ordered, painted, and installed. Does anyone here have any experience with how well auto body shops have in matching the magnesium metallic colors of a civic. I was thinking of trying Maaco...they quoted $960. I just hope the paint matches exactly...it does seem like a very unique color.

No, it is going to come out of pocket. It was hit into in my driveway by a family member and I cannot have their insurance premiums go up. I just hope that a new repainted skin will not look shoddy or anything.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Body and paint work: You get what you pay for.
If you want great work, you need to seek out the people with great reputations.
Might be cheap to get a used complete door in the right color and bolt it on.
Good, Fast, or Cheap. You can only pick two.
