Ok, so I just relocated all of my wires on the driver side fender to the inner fender and I plan on doing the same on the passenger side. Well there are lots of whole that used to hole various things.

I want to fill all the wholes in and repaint the fenders. Now, being that they are under the hood, would it be ok to just rattle can it with some high temp black temp? Also, how would I go about filling in the holes, bondo?

Never really got into body work but I'm the type of person who likes to do things themselves. Thanks

Don't use bondo...you should weld the holes up.

what kind of car are you talking about? if your talking about an f-body, the fenders are plastic.

That was my other option. Guess I'll get the welder going.

In the engine bay. The shock towers are metal.

Weld them up the bondo will most likely crack and or fall out.

weld grind and use a light coat of metal2metal filler its strong and will hold up better!!

You should grind around the holes, then take a drill bit to clean the inside of the hole up then weld up the hole. Then grind the welds smooth put a thin coat of filler then prime and sand, you should then be ready to paint it any color you want.

i have to recommend rattle can 'epoxy' paint... for appliances. i found it at home depot, did my rims with it but was recommended by AntiVenom which did an engine bay... has a high temp, good scratch resistance... i also started to try it on interior plastic trim pieces with no sort of bubbling... post pics after!

i didnt know that you were talking about the shock towers. in your origanal post you said fenders. either way, most of the replies are correct. clean, weld, smooth with a die grinder, small amount of filler to fill scratches, prime, and paint.
