Default filling in holes

I need to fill in holes from taking off a body kit. holes are in metal (rockers) and plastic (bumpers). I have some bondo glazing and spot putty that says its good for metal, but i haven't seen any threads of other people using it. is it ok to use? and what is the best thing to use to fill the holes on the bumpers? thx, can't wait to get this finished

I am not sure about the bumpers, but you need to weld the holes in the rocker. You should not use putty or bondo to fill the holes, they will crack and pop back out. Once all the holes are welded up & ground smooth then you can use your glazing putty to fill little divits & imperfections.
