Question What is best way to repair holes after spoiler remover?

I am restoring a 92 Camaro RS 305, and have a question in regards to body work.
I am trying to save a few $$ before sending it in for painting.
I removed a high rise spoiler that was not installed properly, and now I was wondering what the best way to repair/fill the holes left on the hatch, from the screws that bolted on the spoiler. There are 10 total, and they are fairly small.
Would I be better off using Bondo, JB Weld, or something else, then sanding down nicely?
Any advice would be appreciated, form any generation of camaro buffs.
Thanks
Steve

I'd use the fiberglass compound stuff. Sand it down and paint it. You could always call a body shop and ask them.

I think the holes are too small for me to cut pieces to fill em. I was hoping to use some sort of compound, but didn't know what the best compound would be for this type of situation.
Keep the advice and opinions coming
Thanks

Use the fiberglass stuff like I said. You can get it at any auto parts store, or even Wal-Mart.
