okay so i took off my mazda badge and protege badge which leaves 4 holes to fill, i snapped the plastic piece on the left protege hole but went to a mazda dealer and picked up another one to protect against rust and ordered 4 more so i can replace the other 3 original ones and have a total of 4 new fresh ones with 1 extra just in case. so here is my question, i also picked up some touch up paint while i was there and i was wondering what it would look like if i put some paint on the plastic pieces to blend them in with the cars color until i weld them shut. good idea? bad idea? tacky? i would love feed back before/if i do it. btw the plugs do not leak water. *win* any alternatives? here is a pic.
