grind it all off and redo it. pretty much the only thing you can do. you were trying to shave the lock im guessing?

use a "pistol grip" grinder, actually any grinder would really work. use a 60 grit to get it off.

^ why do you hate filler?

Filler is used to fill in any low dips and such to help smooth the body out.

The trunk lid doesn't look like it needs a lot of work to be honest.

Id go over the whole trunk and block it down with 80 grit and then 120 grit. Are you painting it yourself or bringing it to a shop? Why not just bring it to the shop and have them finish it off for you then?

How was the key lock shaved to begin with?

sand that biotch down real good, and spray bomb it satin black, get some inner tails and call it a day til u can afford to have it painted.

if the black n red look doesnt suit you, you can get some paint to match your car's color, but it wont look the best.
