I think the shop would be the best bet for a good repair. You could install the door and then have them do all the paintwork. But you probably won't save a whole lot of money doing it that way. But you probably WILL gain a little experience. The one thing is, in most states, if a shop opens the car up and finds it needs more repair than you were paid for, they will re-open the claim. If you do it yourself, they won't. That might be reason enough to have the shop do the work and let them haggle with the insurance company.
