if you want a quick, temporary fix, use jb weld.. i'd recommend denting a small area around the hole, so you can sand it and spray some primer or paint over it.. i wouldn't recommend this as a permanent fix.. permanent would definitely be weld them, grind down the weld and spread just a touch of filler over them to smooth everything out

it's some sort of butyl.... razor blade looks like it will work... keep it flat to the surface, and it shouldn't dig into the paint

if a ravor blade still digs into the paint, try a plastic putty knife/ser.. it may leave a little behind, but you should be able to get the last of it off with acetone

i'd put some in a spray bottle, spray it on there and let it sit for a minute.. then with a little elbow grease, it should come right off.. it'll probably leave a little residue behind, but you can just spray it again and wipe it down to get the last of it
