holes from emblem
the guy who had my car b4 me took the acura emblem of the back leaving 2 small holes. a shop said to fix it it will cost about $150.00 cause they will need to repaint the whole back of the car. i was wondering if anybody knows of a cheaper way to fill the holes and then touch up paint them. so basically how can i fill the holes myself without welding.

I actually used some body filler (bondo) to fill in the holes...then I sanded it down even with the metal....to paint it, I had a guy airbrush the paint over the holes and it blended perfectly (without having to paint the whole hatch)...it only cost me $50 for everything (paint and supplies)

if you want it to turn out clean, I'd say spend the 150. It's not much work but if you aint got the supplies, you'll only really be saving 75 or so. Not to mention, it might not turn out the way you had hoped.
