Default What is the best way to remove the "H" scuff mark?

1995 honda accord.

I just removed my front "H" emblem today and it left behind 2 pig nose holes (which I removed, now its just holes), some sort of adhesive glue (removed), and the "H" scuff mark from 1995. Is there any way to remove that? Should I just wait until I repaint the whole car? And how should I go about covering the holes? (I always thought the front H did not have any holes).

remove the glue and sand it down bondo over it. sand it down until its smooth with the rest of the car and then you'll have to repaint.

or you could get a 96-97 hood hehe

Are you looking for something that will just get you by?

Use rubbing alcohol on the glue (I don't think it'll hurt your paint, but it could I guess so be careful). And is there Once that is off, fill the hole with some sort of silicone gel from the hardware store smoothing it down. Hit it with touch-up paint and you're done. It won't look good but it'll get you by if you know what I mean.

Or pick up some bondo rather than the silicone gel. I just always seem to have silicone gel laying around (leftover from roofing / plumbing projects) so that would be what I would personally use.

That's honestly going to look like ****. You should put either the H or a teggy symbol back on until you're doing all the bodywork prepping for paint.
If you're stuck on leaving it off, there's no good way to cover the holes. I'd just either leave them, and use some rubbing compound to get the scuffs off. You could try filling them with epoxy and then smoothing it out before it dries, as a temp. fix.
Just put the symbol back on, you should be proud to drive a Honda, they're good cars.
