Default Prepping my pace car wing

I got my wing in today and sanded it down with 1500 grit paper. I noticed a few little spots that could use a little filler but I don't want to go buy a jar of bondo when in reality i'm only gonna use like 1/2 tsp at most. Any suggestions on what I could/should use to fill in the indentions? Test fit of the wing today went well, it fits very well and shouldn't have any gaps once bolted down.

After I finish the prep, I plan on painting it myself with a rattle can, using the touch up paint from the dealership. I will be color sanding between coats so i'm not worried about orange peel cause I can take care of that, my only worry is that the paint matches. Anybody have any experience with factory touch up paint?

for the little imperfections your talking about you should be able to get some spot putty. It's sold in tubes and comes in small amounts. I havn't had any experience with touch up paint matches but a buddy of mine swears by the places that come out and take a shot of your paint with a machine and then it gives them the mix to perfectly match your paint. Just a thought for ya
