Cost of getting just a door painted, color matched?

I posted a while back asking for body shop suggestions after bending my rear passenger door. Getting it unbent would involve some painting, and I'm not sure it's ever going to get properly unbent. I can get a different-colored door shell for about $100 off front-end wrecked wagon, so I'm wondering: any ideas what it costs to get a door color-match and painted (OBP)?

This would be just the shell, off the car. I'd transfer my existing window, regulator, trim, card etc. over afterward. Anyone had anything like this done?

Well the car is Obsidian Black Pearl (i.e. 05 metallic black). The candidate donor is red. If I could find a good intact OBP donor, I'd be set. Buy anyone who points me to one [that I end up with] a 12-pack...
