Seems to me it would be easier to just tape off the area and paint the pinch seam black with a textured paint like the AEV paint they use on their bumpers. It’s about 15 bucks a can super easy to apply. That way there’s no opportunity for rust to gather behind a steel plate, and it’s simple to touch them up if you have a scratch them on the trail etc. And it’s fast, easy, cheap, and looks good. Win!
