Anywhere from $150-$500 depending on who does it. The right way would be to blend both doors for color match which is why you can get into more money because you have to detrim the doors before paint. It's very hard to panel paint white because there is so many variations of that code. Just check around for a good shop and look at there paint work and make sure they use bc/cc (basecoat/ clearcoat. and not singlestage unless you don't mind waxing your car and the rag turns white.

I paid almost $500 to have two aftermarket side skirts painted. It all depends on the shop you go to. I've found that when having body panels painted, the price you pay is equivalent to how the finished product will look. If you want to pay $200 for a paint job, the result will look like a $200 paint job. The bottom line is paint shops aren't cheap, but IMO, it is better to have everything come out looking great that just o.k.
