Evercoat has a nice line of SMC resins (for use with standard fiberglass mat, cloth, etc), adhesives and even a nice fiber-reinforced filler. I'd take a look at them, I just used their products to repair similar damage to my front wheelhouse.

I was just wondering if you were experiencing cracking, splintering, or seperation from the bonding seams.
As Dope mentioned, Evercoat has a great line of products available.
I also highly recommend Valvoline's Pliogrip and 3M's Duramix line as well.
