5k will get you a nice job that will look decent.

Depending on what colour you decide to go, repairing dented wrx panels isn't always an option, the door shells are virtually wrapped in tin foil. I opted to buy new doors and new front fenders for my project, simply because so much time ($$) was going to be needed to make them perfect again.

I paid $3800 for new panels (from regents), and $6200 for painting (inc weeks of labour and materials) and could not be happier with what i paid, and the finished product.

I 100% recommend Benson the Buff King (BBK).
