Redneck auto body repair; cover the damage with duct tape or a decal

While My 3 is disabled inside the garage I decided to work on the bubbling paint/rust on the drivers side rear door.
Removed 3 screws inside then pulled to release the push pin retainer clips to remove the flare.
Used my new toy needle scaler to remove all the loose rust then wire brushed & sanded.
Brushed the inside of the door with the same rustoleum hammered I'm using on the frame.
Spread a thin layer of bondo on the outside over the cleaned pitted metal then sanded & painted where the flare don't cover.
I used the paint I had on hand from a previous project which matches close in color, however a noticeable difference in sheen: BEHR PREMIUM 11 oz. #SP-204 Nickel Satin Interior/Exterior Metallic Spray Paint Aerosol
Searched Vine for a cover up to make the repair/paint less noticeable and got free matching decals.
I stopped the rust which works for me.

2 weeks at WDW resort back in '99 with my Wife & Daughters was more than enough time for me spent in FLORIDA! My wife is retiring soon & we are moving somewhere between our top 2 ALLTIME vacation spots between Gatlinburg,TN & Myrtle Beach,SC.

I agree that a quality set, properly designed as a replacement for the specific vehicle's reflector, work perfectly after aiming.
Here's some pics at Nautical Twilight here outside my garage -front- rear- inside. Light(((((BEAM))))) is STRAIGHTFORWARD.
