my buddy did this, get some bondo, sand a little arond the holes..bondo the holes up, then primer/paint/clear.
find some diy on here how to do scratch repair etc, just bondo the hole first and follow those diy

Applying Bondo over the holes isn't really the best way to do this properly. The best ways to do this sort of thing:

1. Weld the holes shut
2. Use an epoxy adhesive (panelbond)
3. Fiberglass
4. Bondo

Since metal has a different expansion/contraction rate based on temperature, over time the bottom 3 methods can fail. It will eventually become visible where the holes were. You would need to level/prime & block the area prior to painting.

for diy i would recommend using long strand fiberglass, or short strand as it has stayed pretty well from experience. if u use bondo for sure it will crack off as its not strong enough. or if u can weld then jus weld.
