I used duct tape until I made a filler piece and welded it in. Taped off the small area, filler, primer, and krylon until I'm ready for real body work.

Check this out from the FAQ. I thought it was a pretty easy and neat idea.

I just went out and used the cable tie method to put mine on. It took 10 minutes and looks cool.
