Hello and welcome to just answer! What type of help do you need regarding the painting of the door? Chris

the used doors I bough has different colorHow do I remove the doors paint? And paint them in according to my car's color?
Automotive Expert
Gotcha. You can use a chemical paint removal or sand the paint off using a powered orbital sander and some fine grit sand paper. Then when you are down to bare metal, wash the door with a good detergent, let it dry and spray a primer coating, let that dry then paont the door. Chris

what do I put after the paint for the shine
Automotive Expert
You can then apply a clear coat after the paint fully dries. That will give it a shine. Chris

Okay thank you so much!!
