not an expert on cut and weld jobbie but for covering the surface I recommend to sand till shiny bare metal with 80 (under the car)  and then mercedes approved glassurit epoxy 801-703 .. I always use this stuff and it never let me down.. 3-4 thick coats 5-10 minutes between layers .. it dries completely after 72 hours..  (so you cant move the car)

(if you are going to use this , be sure to read the product paper)

you cal also use hammer on it..

on painted parts doors etc 2 -3 layers and if you wont use extra filler coats dont go below 120-150

[cem_devecioglu]

also I must note this filler must than be sanded with 600-800 for the paint for better adhesion

mate -in all honesty-metal can look bad-yet still be strong--photos useless for that--really need to poke and dig at it to check--myself would cut old out and rebuild--not mot bung plate over it type of thing-and yes can do wheel arches and Emd-stuff that ! paint is mine -all mine--Webby can have matt black

Funny you should say that Symes
