Default filling grille clip holes

If I decide to take my grille out and it leaves these clip holes, what can I use to permanently fill them and can be painted?
(note: this silver Camaro is not mine, just using the picture as an example. Mine is the black one!)

I had to have my nose repainted this past summer and had the body shop fill them in for me. Not sure what they used, but dam it looks alot better now. I think they should have came that way as OE.

How many of the kits did you have to buy to fill the holes and still be able to have enough to spread out and sand smooth?

I got 3 small tubes in autozone. I think they sell a large tube but I did not see one.

You did a nice job, it really looks good! I'm looking at doing a Sonoco hood and I think it would look good with the grille insert out also.

Thanks, I was thinking about the grill inserts also. I may do a hood later.

The guy at the bodyshop told me it was pretty much the same stuff you can get at the parts store that was used by 98z8uup.
