I am a paint tech! Not a body man by far but do what he said with the fiberglass first and then bondo! Also do not use to much hardner in your bondo or it will break out when you shut the trunk a few times! Always use a block for finish sanding or it will wave at you! Also i can not express this more do not use spray can paint of any sort!!! for 1 you will never get it to match! 2 it will yellow out in about 2 weeks and you will see it bad! Do all the prep work yourself and take it to a local body shop Take your paint code off the door sticker or it may be in the glove compartment! It should not cost you more than 100.00 bucks to have it blended and that should include them to wet sand and buff the blend out! Let me know how it turns out!
