then use a fine grit glass/sand paper and get it as smooth as possible then a bit of wet/dry paper (i think) to get it as smooth as possible.

Prime and spray and way hay smooth boot

I THINK THATS RIGHT NOT TOOO SURE
Thats not right. You should never smooth a boot over with filler. It should be welded over otherwise the smoothed bits will just fall off. Filler is for filling low spots and just that, it should never be using for constructing things.

Your not wrong. To be fair the work is good, they get paid to do what the owner wants. Sadly some of their work is wasted on shambolic cars like the above corsa.
