Default Best way to fill the holes when removing emblems?

Like the title says, what's the best way to fill the little holes on your trunk or where ever they happen to be when removing the "Honda" or "Acrua" emblems and symbol?

why are they dumb, youd have to repaint it too. i remember my buddy got quoted around 1000 for filling holes in his doors on his teg if he took off the side mouldings.

I can paint it myself, 400 is overpriced for something like that oops.
Calling him ******* dumbass was a bit harsh on my part. Then when I questioned him as to why it would take 3 hours to do, he said "HE HAS TO WELD IT"

pull your emblem then get a wire wheel and wire wheel the entire area so it is bare metal. then take it to a muffler shop and tell him to stick a tack in each hole. he will eb happy to do it since all the hard work is done. (paint removal) then take it home and grab an angle grinder and smooth it out. pull one pass of bondo over it, sand it smooth, then youre ready for paint. the welding part will probably cost you 10 bucks or a 12 pack of bud light, depending on which shop you go to.

remember, the more prep work you do, the happier some derelict with a mig welder will be to weld.
