How can we fill the holes from the removed wooden pickets on our deck with cable railing to ensure a smooth paint job for the Trex stair treads?

We took out the wooden pickets on our deck and put in this cabling instead. But now I can see all the holes from the Trex stair treads. Unfortunately, Trex doesn’t have solid boards in this color. Since we have to repaint the rest of the deck, I’m wondering if anyone has suggestions for plugs to fill in all these holes. There’s a ton of them along the long stretch of stairs.
There are plugs available in various colors for filling in screw holes. You might need to enlarge the holes for the plugs, though. Have you looked into painting the trex? Most of it doesn’t take well to paint, especially dark colors.
