wow...

•go buy some 500 grit wet/dry sand paper
•get you a bucket of water and a sponge
•sand very moderately (pressure wise)
- you will see white residue coming off, thats your clear coat
•keep sanding to a nice matte finish on the paint
don't need to apply primer if keeping it the same colour turns out real nice and will match the other color very easily...not sure why ppl insist on repainint the whole bumper or car for adding on lip kits clearly they need to get their paint code and match it with dupont...

your door and quarter panel may take you 2-4 hours to get a nice even look with the wet sanding--> matte finish, take it to a body shop, have them take care of the dent prolly 2-3 hours labor, bring them the paint 1 or 2 pints should do, you offer to do the wrapping of windows and trunk so only the door and panel will be painted (that'll save many hours there to do it right) then bring him the paint and clear coat

voila, easily less than 300 if you do those labor intensive things yourself
