I use  a product called POR 15.
it's a black material used for filling small body dents.
it's a bit glossy looking when dry for a black vanagon grill, but it works
fine.

I get my POR 15 in a tube ( it comes in black or white ) at a professional
grade automotive paint and body supply store, not a FLAPS.
A repair on my grill with it is holding just fine.
