 Hi everyone,

      This is my first post, I have a van with lots of small holes in the alluminium skin. Has anyone had experience of this type of repair?  I have had a go at repairing it,using car body filler,etching primer& caramatch top coat. 

It has not been very successfull, as it has started to blister. I have done a lot of damp repair work to the inside, re sealed awning rails,new window rubbers.  Damp meter is showing very little moisture in the inside the van. Maybe it has not dried out enough?  Any help would be greatly appreciated. The van is a 1998 Swift Corniche 17/3.     

               Regards to all.

HI you need a filler made for alluminium repairs normal car body filler is no good .

You can get a good one made by 3m at most car accessory stores.

Hope this helps you .
