Inventory system layout issues

Okay, below is the code for the Character information area of my Inventory system for my game.

The problems im having are the following:

1. How in the world do I paint or write my strings to my panel?
2. How do i do it so i get a nice titled border layout like the equipable area and the inventory list?

}

here is a screen shot of the first rendered version of the inventory system in full. (minus of course the few bugs im working on above)
