but i dont have a welder. I know you'll probly tell me to go rent one but how much do you think a body shop would ask for this job? I was thinking of getting a paint job anyways. I could get it done at the same time and i might save some cash.

JB weld doesnt require any welding. It basically comes with 2 tubes, mix them together, they cause a chemical reaction, and harden to some type of metal.

anyways, it can be sanded and stuff, do it urself and paint it later.

I think its pointless to shave the holes, unless youre getting the entire car painted.

I took off all my emblems and only replaced the A with a red H. In the rear where it said ACURA there are two small holes that you barely notice. I will have them filled when I have the car painted way down the road when I can afford it.

you don't technically hav to weld since the holes are pretty small. Bondo can do the trick

no no no never use body filler (bondo) to fill a hole. body filler is only used to straigten panels. trust me i go to school for autobody. your only solution would be to weld the holes. a halfway expierienced welder wouldnt have a problem doing this. after its welded grind it down and put some body filler or polyester on top....if you really want to do it but dont want to weld buy some fiberglass filler and do it. its still the wrong way but 100 times better than body filler. pm me for step by step info

Macco? It came out great? I have heard plenty of horror stories from them. Do they do a good job in paint matching stock colors?

like i said, put duct tape on the other side, then put masking tape on top.

get a pencil, and poke some holes out. use a round file and file the tape out where the sides are and clean up the holes.

then, with jb Weld, slap it over the holes and wait a day.

then sand it out clean.

and ur done. u can leave the tape on and use touch up paint. after that, remove the tape.

DONE.
