Door skins are not designed to be reused, it would literally be destroyed taking it off the door.

I was quoted 450.00 from the dealership. They said that it is policy to remove the whole bumper for painting which increases the labor. I declined so far. I should be able to get them to do it for 350.00 to 400.00 if I tried but I basically just left.
