Hello everybody,

If there is anybody that has filled in their drill holes before, could you please do a DIY. Thanks

Are you trying to fill holes from a wing or something? If it doesn't need to be pretty, you can use some epoxy or bondo.

For areas you can't see I use a plastic plug. Like for door jams and engine bay, trunk floor.

The PROPER way to do it is to weld the holes in, grind them smooth, and then paint the surface.

There's tons of other options that range from terrible to decent. Kenchans method is good for areas that aren't on the exterior of the body. No matter what you do, make sure to seal the raw metal somehow to avoid rust. If it's exposed to water, I like to put some silicone around the hole before putting the plug in.
