Use filler, and...(you dont want me to finish that sentence)
Use fiberglass or steel.

I'm not mike but i think i can answer your question. I shaved my tailgate handle and door handles. What you want to do is buy some sheet metal and cut it so it sits as flush to the surface of the car as possible so you use as little bondo as possible. then weld in the sheet metal, and and start bondoing i would recommend finishing it with the ultimate body filler from bondo. And if you've never bondoed before then don't get discouraged. you'll think its perfect after 15 tries then you notice something, thats just the way it is. but if its just your key whole trunk release it should be fairly easy. hope that helps.
