Exclamation Shaving Berger Panel

So i am thinking about filling in the CAMARO out of my berger panel but im not sure what is the best way to do this. I heard that bondo will not work with the fiberglass/plastic piece that the panel is made out of. Any help would be much appreciated.

I used bondo. Haven't painted it, but will likely cover it in matte black vinyl. It looks pretty good though. Never used bondo before either.

Feather out the edges of the letters really good, fill the majority with marglass/kitty hair and do a light skim with a putty meant for plastics i think what i used was fusor 814 it held up a couple of years til I got rid of the car

I would think that Bondo Hair / fiberglass would work best
