wrong cut to b filled

[G1zm0]

Guys.
I was cutting a decorative tall fridge housing gloss white claddon panel.

Had it clamped with pump clamps and used my circular saw and the clamp failed.

It cut a 6 inch line accross panel.
Its at top of panel against wall.
What can I use to fill the cut and match it to gloss white.

I was thinking either culk. Wood fill or sawdust and resin then covering with colour fill or some fablon.
Don't think paint would work.

Don't want to fork out 80 for anotherone.

acrylic bath repair kit might work well?

If its glossy and you don't want to paint the whole panel, you will never be able to blend it in.

New panel i'm afraid if you want it to look right

Agreed. For a start the number of shades of white out there (really!) makes getting a colour match all but impossible, but you'll also really struggle to match the "glossiness" of the original panel. Any repair will tend to stand out like a sore thumb

Imagine if this was your car door, car body filler and rub down until smooth and level several coats of rattle can spray paint the whole door not just where the scratch is.

Without a picture it is hard to tell, but one can even make a feature that looks like it was meant to be there, like for example a tall larder unit door could be lobbed off where the bad section is and another small section joined to it such that all cut and joint lines are straight and horizontal or vertical to make it look like natural divisional lines or some feature lines.

Put another cut on the other side to match?

Thanks for replying.
I sorted it by using glue and sawdust filled into gap then smoothed.

I then stripped the white vinyl wrap from a off cut. Cut the old wrap off the damaged area and replaced it
Matched in nice.
