paint, wait(12-24hrs), sand. repeat until smooth. Use an enamel paint. Clear coat once you have desired look to save it from chips/scuffs. 1 door took me about a week. http://www.cardomain.com/id/bakermx3

fibreglass.<p>go get yourself some fibreglass resin, and start applying it on coats the to area you want to paint. then sand it down really well, until it's nice and smooth, then paint it.<p>some pictures would help me know exactly how you messed up your panel, but that's the route i suggest.<p>-Abs
