touch up paint?? i got some from honda and i dont think it matches my taffetta white very well..maybe it will fade or something but i would not use it for something obvious like shaving trunk holes.

I'd say leave the "H" on unless you are replacing it with a colored emblem. Painting a trunk and filling the holes are just too much trouble for a little "H" IMO.

If your gonna do that you might as well shave the trunk IMO.

i went to a body shop about getting my emblem and my side molding removed from my sedan and they said that bondo wasnt a good way to go and that they would weld the holes then sand it flat and then either repaint the whole panel or blend. All of it was going to cost alot so I am just going to get a custom paint job at the same time.
