my first car patch panel...slightest on pin prick holes

[steveo3002]

today i did my first patch panel on a car

went very well...better than expected , after grinding it barely needs any filler if at all

one slight niggle ...i looked from behind facing the sun , there was a couple of tiny holes letting light through..smaller than a pin prick almost nothing

i decided that rewelding those would make the panel rather thin after a second round of grinding , i painted both sides with zinc primer and it readily covered all holes

my question...did i do right ? are the slightest of pin holes a concern to bodywork if i can paint both sides of the repair

 

[OHP]

as long as you seal it with under body seal so water cant get at it it will be fine.

that's if its an external panel

yeah its the front valance..i can paint both sides easily

i figured its only worth re wedling anything of noticble size

Brushable seam sealer is te answer - it is a rubbery compound as used on other welded joints around the car.

Available in Halfrauds, for around £15 a tin

im not worried about filling /hiding them ...the first coat of zinc primer filled them totaly

was just slightly worried they may cause bubbles in the future...anyway its better than it was lol
