Also, aside from bending the lip back in to place, you should probably paint over those spots where the paint chipped away in order to avoid future rust issues. Nail polish should work. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Yeah I'd just go get your fenders rolled and hit it with some black primer on the back. No problem there.
