hard to say dont think ive ever seen the whole panel black, but I dont think it would look any good, polishing out the marks would maybe look alright, but you would have to try it first to see how it looks, you could even paint the moulds a different if you wanted, dont know what colour would look good though/ maybe even the same colour as the car?

I reckon removal and fixing up panels underneath would be a winner ;) And an individual touch.
