Looks good great job...The epoxy tube is it like two tubes that mix together when they get pushed out and applied?

Make sure you sand it good...What colour is your car

it looks like you took a lot away from where the plate fits, did you test putting a plate in place to see if it fit for spacing rub issue?

and it look a little uneven near the centre in the one pic but looks alright.

good progress looks good but if it was me i would have shaved the entire hatch (even where the plate goes) make it all smooth. might as well go all out on a job like that

weird, your hatch does not have the bolt holes for the licence plate back plate...
that could be a problem? you may have to drill into freshly painted metal to install the 2 holes that you screw the black plastic bracket into then you put your 4 licence plate screws into that.
