For those holes, I would probably use Bondo.

If it was me I'd sand down the entire side, bondo the holes and repaint.... just to be sure everything looked uniform... but I'm a bit mental so sanding the area around the holes, adding bondo and repainting is probably OK.

Those cabs are vinyl, aren't they?  I'd say strip the whole side and laminate it cherry red.

Here is a pic of the right side. The original side art it is good shape.


I live overseas so getting a match for the red laminate, strip, sand, etc.

Is there a way to wood fill and then paint the hole. I understand that it won't be perfect.

I am also debating the Tmolding. Its in great shape with just a few nicks. I'll post more pics.
