I had the same thing on my 93. Deer ran out and into the side of my car. I 2-ton epoxied the skin to the door and touch up paint on top so the 'glass didn't stand out till I could get it fixed.
Ended up taking it to body shop. Fiberglassed it up and was good as new. Couldn't even tell.

There are many places that sell paint mixed to the OEM color codes, both online (such as paintscratch.com) and local shops.

its an easy fix for a bodyman/painter. dont screw it up anymore, take it to a shop or spend more than they would charge on tools/materials for yourself.
