I'm loving that black K10. Not seen that one before. Can't help you with the smoothing I'm afraid though. 
ok firstly remove everything from the rear.
then weld a piece of plate metal the full width and depth of the indentation. (remember to disconnect battery and alternator though)
then once thats done etc. grind the welds back so they dont stand out
then fibreglass (bridger most of it to get it somewere near. then g7 it down or glass sand it. it is tough to sand.
then once u have it to somewere near u can use a fine cataloy and spread it on then with a square block wrapped in wet and dry sading paper. start to sand get it somewere very near.
then best thing to do is to purchase polyester (you will require compressor to spray this on.
this is a filler but also stops the pait sinking into the cataloy and can be easily sanded smooth
once thats done, you are then ready to prime and spray the tailgate to the aquired colour. remembering to mask of the windows etc
good luck it will take more than a few days to do though. depending on your timescales as in how long each day your working and how often. u may be loooking at a full week just to do it

hmmm, the black k10 looks like Golf 2 at the first sight (from behind), /me doesn't like it so much :\ would look better if tinted rear window (don't know if thats legal in UK?)
BTW, what are these tits you're all talking about? Lights that are lighting the plate?

yes but there is a place for questions.
this thread is about smoothing a boot, not painting an interior.
the forum rules quite clearly state that any off topic chat will be deleted or at least moved.
we are all here to help but we have to obide by the rules or it will very quickly become a web of tangled threads and no answers at all.
hope you understand, nothing would have been meant by it, its just every day we get the same things. brand new members going waaay off topic and clogging up a thread with other questions.
thank you
and if you use the search function, dash spraying has been covered thousands of times.

Thank you. Thats all i need to know. I just dont appreciate arrogence. If anyone reads my thread i do talk about wanting to smooth the boot of my car. Then i asked about interior. Instead of being clever he should have told me to search for it like you did. Im not being funny. It just came accross like i was being spoken to like im a child. Thanks.
