    Fill the little hole with wire. Just tack around the edge and fill her up.

    JB weld works and some sheetmetal works pretty well.

      1: Tap it back with a ball peen hammer so its a little concave.
      2: Put some tape across the back of it so you dont lose all your filler.
      3: Apply filler across hole and indent from hammer.
      4: Sand smooth.
      Repeat 3&4 as necessary.

      Wont last forever but will be good for a few years.

      Edit: You need to at least sand the paint to roughen it and give the filler a "key".

        Ok - here is a stupid question. Are you saying don't use bondo brand? Or don't use a filler that isn't a 2 part product(filler&harder)? All the "bondo" I've seen IS a two part product. (not my pic)



        Or is this two part plastic filler something I've never seen before?

          Hey George

          If you are going to fill holes I really suggest bondo hair, short or long. Use putty to finish, if at all needed.

          Everything is two part, bondo brand is just not that great.
