Default Front Bumper Painting

I'm going to be having a friend paint my '89 CRX and I'm doing a lot of the prep work for him. Basically I got a aftermarket front bumper cover for the front of it but the dips who owned it before me put 2 screw holes in the sides but I payed dirt for it so w/e. There actually really small holes and I can get extra plastic from the cut outs in the front grill of it they never cut out but I was wondering if someone could either link me or tell me about plastic welding and how I should go about sanding it before it's ready to be painted. Thanks guys.

if the holes are real small then you can fill with finishing glaze and sand smooth i did it on two cars already no problem yet

I think id buy another aftermarket bumper and paint it instead of welding it.
They are sooo cheap now you can buy one for about 40 bux.
Thats way cheaper than buying a plastic welder and doing the body work.
