Took the bikini top off today and took a cruise for some paint quotes for my half doors.

Here's what I found out!
Paint - Surprisingly, All the paint & body shops I went to stated that they could not paint the doors. This is because they are mostly only in the business of collision repair. They told me I'd need to find a custom paint shop but that I'd be looking in a ballpark of $600-$700 for the doors colormatched most likely.
Vinyl Wrap - I spoke to my Vinyl guy and he stated that it would be a very difficult job. He stated he couldn't wrap the entire door just the outside. He did have a perfect color match and quoted me $600 for all four doors.

Powdercoat - Possibly the best option of the day, there is a small powder coating and sandblasting shop just down the road from my house. He's been recommended to me by some in the area. While he can't offer a perfect match, he offered up this one for me as the best that he could do. He said with a clear coat, it would darken it slightly and maybe match a little better. He quoted me $250 for all four inside and out for powdercoat and clear coat. He said it would take about a week.

Thoughts?! Opinions? I've never had something powdercoated before. Is this gonna be my toughest option or would a Vinyl wrap be more durable? Looks like paint is out of the question. Let me know what y'all think!
I was super excited to use it regardless of the situation. I'll be the first one to say that I am very uneducated when it comes to recovery and winching so I was glad to get the opportunity.
