Actually, foil on a flat sided plug like those is pretty simple. Seal and prime as usual. Apply some glue stick or 3M adhesive to the plug. Attach foil and smooth it out with your fingers. Trim the edges with a razor. Use a smooth object (I used a sharpie) to smooth out the foil real well. I then used a handle from a racket (had a nice pattern on the grip) to do the scales. Just roll it over top. Do a light coat of epoxy over the plug. Paint as usual when dry. If you mess up the paint, you can just wipe it off and go again. Clear coat as usual.
