Iltis rear quarter panel restoration question

Look up Eastwood supplier for possible coating.....

.....or visit a professional body paint shop or a supplier...... ask them how they would do it ......... if you make your enquiry short and sweet some of them are very helpful.

Some of the polyurethane coatings will stick to anythng and act as a binder coat for the cover up OD you would use........

I like your approach to do it right....even if it may not be readily visible when standing next to it.

Aluminum works well for the filling of holes as a backing plate...is lighter and waaaay cheaper than brass or copper but does heat up quickly so a pail of water handy helps. I have done similar to the holes the Army filled with Bondo. A few patches later and other than a part of the original CFR number missing you can't tell. Looks good Good luck with the restoration.
