Warp in door panel

I'm thinking about repainting my door panels. Each of the door panels has a warped area, perhaps from being in the Nevada heat for 40 years. Can this be fixed? Any thoughts?

Maybe it could be heated up and flattened back out. Take a heat gun and warm it up and set a couple blocks on it and see if that does the trick.

Re: Warp in door panel

I just tried the heat gun on my own, it just made it worse. I would try to make a form for it to press into if I were to do it again. Good luck, though.
