Welcome to the forum. It needs to be sanded off smooth. Re clear coated, or wrapped. Personally, I’d purchase new body panels. That was the whole purpose, of replacement panels.

I wonder what sand blasting plastic panels, would do to them?

I remember the smart reps, that did a panel swap. At the smart Nationals. The cost of the panels were around $1k brand new. Not including labor. They did the complete swap. A couple smart reps we’re doing it.

The end result. A orange smart car. Beside the standard smart car colors. You could order special color panels from the factory, back then. There was a whole Array colors, to choose from.

smart car, offered several different wraps too. This is a topographic design. That was featured at the National. If I was the OP, I would just have the whole car wrapped.

The wrapped smart car, and the swapped panel car. At the Crown Center banquet luncheon. 2010 smart car nationals. The crazy hotel carpeting to match.
