I just bought an 2003 Infiniti g35 coupe that came with door mouldings and I took them off... rather impatiently. I heated up just the edges enough that I can start to pry the rest off. Well now it looks like I may have stripped clearcoat, or maybe even both the paint and clearcoat. 
Is this something I can fix myself if I bought the Meguiar's DA buffer, a polish kit, and maybe even some wetsanding? I really hate the door mouldings. I'd rather just take it to a body shop as my last resort rather than having to 3M the trim back onto the doors for the rest of the car's life. But at the same time I'm not willing to spend more than $500 for an new paint job on my doors.
Here's a picture:
