Default Filled in rear bumper & a question

I spent the entire weekend filling in a dent on my rear bumper. I have never done anything like this, always relying on others to help me out. It came out a lot better than I thought it would. Actually, it looks good. I can't stop looking at it. I have only primered it coz I plan on sanding down and repainting the entire back bumper anyways.

My question is... There are some small holes or pockmarks that need to be filled in, prolly from air bubbles that I did not get out. Should I just use simple body filler for those?

Thank you to everyone that gave me advice. Up next is the crack in the front bumper.

There is a picture of the before in my gallery. And here is the after...

ok you can eather do 2 things for this..

1. mix up some body filler and with the tip of your finer you pick up a little dab and fill the hole in and wipe off the access (if any)..when you got all the holes fill it will just need a LIGHT little sand were you filled the holes in because it will be a little ruff.. i didnt like doing this but i did because i had alot of filler left, because when you sand that down you could make a couple more pin holes (caused by air bubbles in the body filler)

2. buy some Glazing Puddy for body filler and with this its the same process but glazzing puddy is more for doing little pin holes like that and makes a nice finished,its a final step stuff..you can buy glazing puddy for anything, plastics, woods..so make sure you get the right one if you go this step

good luck!!!
