Forget the Bondo.

Start with a gallon of Zinnser and play it by ear.

You don't have a glue how much the surface will suck up
until you get into the project.

One nice thing about that Zinsser BIN is the first coat does a pretty
good job of sealing thing up.
When I used it to seal the edges of some MDF (nothing sucks up like
mdf!) panels for cabinet doors, one coat was all it took to seal the
edges. The subsequent coat laid on top and sanded very smooth.

BTW, to the original poster, BIN is tintable. Have the paint shop add
some pigment to your can so you can get by with one coat of paint.
