Default Camaro Front Bumper Modifacation

I had done the grill delete a couple months back and never really liked the holes where the grill was held in place by. The other day i was driving in the snow and slid into a pile of ice... no damage exept for the layer of clear coat had all chipped off, so now im getting a whole new paint job for the front bumper and thought it would be a good idea to bondo the holes before the paint job. Has anyone ever done this? and on a 99 camaro the black is just called black? thanks

they make a bondo with little fiberglass strands, its good for plastic bumpers. i believe its in the green can, i used it for my bumpers/fenders to fill the holes a body kit left behind and it works pretty well.
