This all depends on how you want to fix your Jeep, professionally, or bolt the parts on yourself. Most of the panels won't come pre-painted. Most of the expense will be in labor. Easiest thing to do is go to a body shop and have them do an estimate, with and without insurance (you're Canadian, so you carry insurance, right?).

 

Never fear, HardRooster the painter is here

You can get a thorough, complete estimate from a body shop for free. It should be tailored to your insurance company, or your budget and willingness to use aftermarket parts to save money if you pay out of pocket. Paying out of pocket gives you all the options. Insurance will generally dictate based on your agreement with them. It's hard to tell the damage in the dark and from pics but it's not that bad, but it looks like a couple thousand in parts, materials and labor. Deductible, body shop, rental...get er done.

I would suggest you search around for the shop of your choosing. Your insurance is going to recommend a few shops first. All they're doing is saving themselves money by recommending shops they have contracts with. It's best to avoid contract shops until you've checked around for yourself. You may ultimately find the contract shop is the best route, it often is, but sometimes there is a superstar independent shop out there, still alive on its reputation and doesn't take crap from insurance companies. They're a dying breed though :(

 

Thanks for your advice.

This most likely won't be going through insurance.. Insurance is reason I now own a jeep.

Not worried about paint..I have friends who are body men also..they also mentioned stay calm until morning.

Thanks all for advice..this rly hurts if you know what I mean.

Thanks Rob

 

This is what I would do..

 

If budget is going to be a concern, I'd search for used factory parts. Body shops generally don't like it when customers bring them parts to install so you may want to find a shop willing to work with you first. In our experience, customers have almost universally brought us junk parts. Used mirrors that don't work, bumpers with torn tabs or spider cracking...lots of things customers don't see or don't know how to check so you'll have to be honest with yourself about how qualified you are to inspect used parts and be realistic with your expectations that used parts are used and look that way. If they have chips, dings, scratches...they'll all need to be fixed or you'll see them in the final product. So I guess my advice would be, 1) find a shop willing to take your parts, 2) buy new moving parts (power mirror?) and 3) only purchase used parts that look perfect or you're happy with the imperfections they already have. Also, make sure you can get your money back from wherever you buy them from, the body shop may find something, like a under surface rust or checking, etc, that you didn't see.

As for labor, you can save money by not blending adjacent panels and accepting there might be a minor color mismatch. Kind of looks like your jeep is black? Hard to tell but black is the easiest color to match, so I would deny blends on black anyway. If it's dark blue or green (I just can't tell in the pics) then you'll probably have a minor color variation, but those are also fairly easy colors to get an imperceptible match with.

Labor is going to be the largest part of your bill in all likelihood, so be prepared for that. Maybe if you search long enough you'll find some used parts that are already the same color. That's the cheapest way to deal with it, just not something to bet on.

Good luck!

 

Good thread.. getting educated this morning!!

 

Thanks again for your advice hard rooster... No I'll be avoiding blending.

The 200 and change from quadratec seems fair..finding a mint passenger door used would be nice

Sorry to hear. I would definitely do an insurance claim to get everything fixed & painted

 

It's drivable so there is no need to rush. Take it and have a couple estimates done before you decide. Then look at what parts they need and how much of it is labor. Search internet for parts new and used. This is a good opportunity to Upgrade, new style hood and snorkel kit might hide any damage. Not sure, I would have to see it in person. Take your time, turn it into a positive.
