So I started poking at the bottom of my trunk lid, had a rust bubble forming. So I started to grind away rust only to find more rust... So I got drastic and cut the bottom lip of my trunk lid off.
Turns out there was water coming in behind the tumbler for the trunk lid, and it was pooling in the seems of the lid rusting it out. So, I deleted the tumbler.
Got some sheet metal and had it tacked in to create a form for me to use. Then used fiberglass to fill in the recessed portion where the lock used to be, as well as any large gaps between the new metal and old metal.
Next was bondo, sand, bondo, sand, primer, bondo, sand sand, primer paint!
I got some paint matched at NAPA, turned out pretty good I think. Constructive criticism's welcomed.
Rusted seam of trunk lid (disregard rusty AC line):
