IT's not fiberglass, it's SMC, but for a nonstressed part like that you could use fiberglass to repair it and be OK.
Just grind away the paint about an inch in each direction on both sides (you can spread it out a little further on the back since you wont see it) and when you're doing your filler work, let the primer dry for a while in the sun... give it at least a week before sanding and painting. That way the fiberglass will be mostly cured and won't show too bad.

i would V it out with a razor blade, rough it up with some 180, put some metal glaze in it and block it down with like 180, go back over with 220 to help with the block marks, bury in primer (whole panel should be primered) if you can use actual auto primer. I like Transtars water based, If not you could try some of duponts acrilyc that comes in a rattle can. Once done prep for whatever the color paint you are using calls for.
sorry for the big pictures
