Default Debadging AU ute

Hi all, Feel like debadging my ute tomorrow whilst doing other stuff, but I heard the ford badge on the rear has two holes behind it just wondering if there's an easy way to patch these. Or do I have to bite the bullet and respray the tailgate?.

There are two holes behind the ford badge and the falcon badge as well.

I removed the falcon badge from mine without knowing, and ended up using a little silastic to fill the holes to stop water getting in, then a carefull dab with some touch-up paint and a polish and it was barely noticable, i have since had the holes filled and tailgate re-sprayed though

Yeah that is the alternative if the getting rid of them all together is too expensive. Saw it done to a black ute at a ford show and looked fantastic, I've hated my door moulds since.
