I know it's a quick fix, but what sort of tape would be best to cover over rust holes on a fender edge ? Metal tape? Duct tape ?
I would tape over the holes, then spraypaint the entire fender.
Thanks

I"m not sure paint would stick to metal tape but worth a try. I'd use the metal tape that's like duct tape only metal. Or buy a fiberglass and resin repair kit and patch it with that.

Like you said, it's quick. I dont see much benefit in doing such a temporary coverup.
When the ol' rust bug bites in those places, unless you clean the rust away and prep the surface properly, nothing will last very long.

If it were my car, I'd replace the fender. If you are looking for a temporary fix, don't do it, you are olny wasting you time. Maybe you should just remove the fender completely?

The metal duct tape will work for that. Make sure the area is clean and wax free first. Dish soap will cut wax.

If you leave the rust on there, it will keep on rusting away.A proper repair is to get rid of the rust and then fill in the hole with a quality filler material and then sand it smooth and repaint.Must For Rust from
