Hey Philly, you don't know me, so reserve judgement or risk looking like an idiot.
I don't do bodywork full time anymore, but I know it quite well, and disagree with your statement. You literally have no idea how deep the clear is on that trunk, or how deep the issue is, so it's impossible for you to say, you're just speculating. Lastly, even if the clear was broken through (unlikely), as long as the paint doesn't have flake in it you can still clear over it, as long as you don't break through. As far as I'm aware, the frozen paint that BMW uses has no flake in it, but it's possible that rubbing it directly could cause the spot to be visible, so you'd have to spot-it anyway. Still better than blending 3 panels...
