Epoxy will stick better than bondo or Sikaflex. This is what I would do:
Carefully grind the loose and destroyed material out with a Dremel type tool, removing as little as possible to get to mostly solid material. Fill with thickened epoxy, Marine Tex and someone has mentioned is a premixed solution, another very good one is West Systems Six 10. Both are available nationwide at West Marine. Mask a small outline and squeegee into the damaged area with a hard plastic squeegee. Sand lightly, going into the paint as little as possible. Brush over with matching paint. You will only have an hour into the repair and it will be almost unnoticeable.
