Panel Chalking
I can not believe anyone has covered this.My 79 door panels were badly chalked and all it needed was a heat gun to fix it.

A heat gun will melt the plastic back to the original finish and color.

It is time consuming and you need a few junk panels to practice on.

It's not perfect you have to sand out deep scratches.Up close you will see they have been repaired but I found no better choice.
