I have done some body work before. You say your a noob, but the way to learn is to do it yourself,if your not sure on something, read a book, there are plenty. sand it down your-self, you will understand y body shops charge so much. When i had my old one painted the shop and i agreed that if i did the prep work they would knock off $200, paid $600. Looked great. The spraying is easy, the prep is the hard part.

For your rear quarter let a shop handle that one because of the crease. I would get a new door from a junk yard. (been there done that) Now you have a new door, no dents, spare parts for future, know where there is a car that u can get more parts off of, sanding experience, paint experience, bragging rights, saved money for future upgrades, and can now help your friends with their cars, or possibly a new career.
