Is there really a way to answer seriously to this thread?
Okay, i'll try.
OP, you COULD fill in the holes with Bondo and you COULD use touch up paint to cover the Bondo afterwards.
You should try it and let us know how it turns out.

if you look very closely, you can kind of see the painted rivets on the trunk
eventually i had the trunk done by a body shop. they welded them shut.

please take it to a shop unless you really really really think you can do it yourself but only do that if you are good at body work....
it will look like *** if you do it yourself...
the touch up paint usually sucks as well. Though I only have experience with the WB touch up paint and it sucks. sticks out a lot.

when i first removed my emblems, i used plastic rivets from lowes and painted them. also used some adhesive so that they would not fall off.

So I'm going with the temp option until I save enough for the body shop. What kind of adhesive did you use? I don't want to ruin my paint with the wrong product

Just buy some cheap used emblems, problem solved.
Don't even worry about ruining your paint with adhesive if you don't want the emblems, when they will finally weld the holes shut you will have to repaint the boot anyway.
