Bondo filler is great, however, after doing some research and looking up some information, it seemed as though plastic weld worked best with plastic, where as bondo works best with metal. I just wanted to use something that would create a super strong bond with the plastic and that would't flake during sanding.

I did get a slight clear coat line, though I think after a good wash and possibly some wet sanding it should look good enough.
