Ok so I need to patch some holes in my fender from when the dealer originally screwed in mud flaps... There are about 4-6 screw holes where each mudflap used to be and it looks really bad.

I was wondering what the best way to patch these would be? What material should I use? Will I be able to just do a touch up without painting the whole lower fender and back bumper? I don't have too much experience with painting, but I did successfully rattle can my front bumper and berger panel, so I can sort of get around.

Sorry, I can't really take pics right now, but here's a picture to give you an idea of where I'm talking about. Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

I would just put some of those plastic rivets in there. You could even paint them to match.

Welder, Rage Gold body filler and paint to match.

Where do you think i could get some rivets? I want it to look smooth though, not have 6 body colored rivets in there.

I saw the title of this and thought, "Certinly someone didn't put mud flaps on a 4th gen!!!"

But they surely did!!!!

it won't look perfect unless you blend the paint into the fenders. Pics of the bumper? I can't believe you successfully rattle canned it!

Here's the best picture of the bumper I have. The only thing is that I still need to find a way to bring the shine out of the clearcoat. Maybe I didn't hit it with enough rubbing compound and polish? Suggestions on that would be appreciated as well.

So it look like the best option at this point is the rivets? I don't really want to have 6 rivets showing, but i guess it will have to do

You can get them at Home Depot in the fix-it bins.
