Fiberglass Dash Radio Hole Repair

I purchased my CMC (1988/89) Speedster 4 years ago. It had a AM/FM Cassette Deck mounted in a hole cut in the fiberglass dash. Tomorrow, a fiberglass repair guy is going to begin the process of filling the hole with fiberglass, leaving me to finish the surface and ideally, blow in paint and mount the badge. The color of the car and dash is 1957 Porsche green.

Could anyone with the knowledge or experience advise me on this repair? Is it possible to purchase a small amount of this paint for touch ups and airbrush the paint carefully on the dash in the area of the repair? About a year ago I saw an article in the Porsche Club Panorama Magazine about touching up a 911 dash and using an airbrush to address the paint.

Also, if anyone has other ideas how I can finish the dash, I'd be grateful. I acknowledge this approach to completing this repair is far from ideal but if I can accomplish this now, I'd like not to postpone it for another year with all my other small Speedster projects on the go......Mike
