If you're not sure what to do, bring it to a Detailing Shop.

No offense, but 9 out of 10 times, DIY attempts by folk who don't have the experience will always end up causing a simple problem to be a major one requiring more expensive repair than originally required.

Based on your description, the trunk must be a repainted panel, if so, bring it back to the painter.

Thats ok chief. I have been doing some DIY's before and there were times when i messed up. hahaha but i did learn something from it though.

well bout the trunk, i got it matched now. i just found a paint restorer wahtever and rubbed it on the surface. then i polished it and there it is.   :)
