You are going to have to get the whole hood repainted.

weld the holes, grind it smooth, a very small amount of filler to make sure it's super smooth, and then repaint the hood. That's the only way to do it. I've seen it done w/ both bondo and fiberglass and the places where the holes were still showed up even after painting.

just get it done at a body shop, less hassle and should be cheap to paint.
