Fiberglass over our plastic panels?

I honestly think you're going to have a hard time getting anything to bond to the OE panels in any long term kind of way.

If you use them to make a mold you can just repair the mold or the fiberglass afterward, both of which would be easier than repairing the surface of the panels.

repair the crack and spray them with paintable rocker guard?

I did that with my A-pillar trim. It makes them look a lot better but I don’t think it’s going to do much or anything at all to keep the trim from deteriorating and cracking further. As a short term fix it works, but in the long run I’ll either need to find other panels or cross my fingers and hope someone reproduces them at some point
