   you'd be surprised mate. i only filled and sprayed the holes paint doesn,t match its a pain in the arse. go to spray shop or leave your badges on. saves stress and hassle. spray shop are welding holes and full boot repspray for £85

   if i was you mate i would re-do the whole boot because it won't look right if you just re-spray the areas you need to. i haven't done it myself but i'm sure it's just a case of filler over the holes and sand it down (someone correct if i'm wrong!) then primer then paint then lacquer

   Yes, looks stupid imo.
   
   And really it is quite hard to do properly. You need to sand the paintwork down, weld the holes up and ideally spray the whole boot so that the colour matches.

   the whole boot will need re-doing mate.
   The paint will have become discoloured in places.

   the filler usually just falls out. best to weld
