I am surprised you picked a Clipper fender. They look quite different to me (maybe length, and taillight housing, stamping, tailfin etc)
but any body panels won't be too easy to find especially for lower volume models (senior cars)

And it really doesn't help when they changed the stamping again for 1954 for the backup light housing.

I know that type of bondo work, my '78 Volare was like that. Both side of wheel lips rusted out. Eventually the car rusted out (not driven in the winter since 2003) last summer : O

Usually some colours hide the rust better than others. Black, tan/brown/beige hides it the best, while light blue or green, silver/white shows the rust easier.
