ill look through my pics to see if i have them of the welds. Remember that when using filler, u want it as THIN as possible. however it is MUCH easier to fix a low spot in metal than fix a high spot. my filler is no thicker than 1/8 anywhere, and make sure u get a good sealer for behind the panels, after the weld. or else it will just rust again. then undercoat it.

i took the whole trunk lid to a paint place for me, and had them match the paint. im not too concerned for "blending" as they aged the paint to match "perfectly". i doubt itll match perfect but since theres gaps between the wings and trunk lid, hood, and roof. it will not be very noticable. if it were silver or a metallic color id be much more worried about matching/blending.

paint went on great today, tomorrow i plan to roll it out of the garage to make sure it matches, then unmask it. proceed to block and buff it.
