Put in my DIY bumper plugs

I started with these 80cents-for-2 Ford push fasteners I got from Lowe's

Applied 4 coats of touch-up with a brush, waited overnight, applied 3 coats of clear, and waited 24 hours. (auto-focus went for the bottles)

2 of them popped in snugly, but one hole was a little wide, so I put some adhesive around the shaft of the fastener to keep it in place. Not bad for $1.60 worth of fasteners and some touch-up paint I already had.

Not bad at all. Wish I could take off my front plate and do this.
