Had it done and it came really nice but one of the contained nuts came off when I was re threading it! So go slow with the tap if you do have one galved:)

I got some Mordant Solution to apply next can I ask the people who have it done how they dealt with the roughness of the finish its really bad in some areas?

Should just skim it with some filler or sand it back first?

Get familiar with the bits of the bulkhead that are on show when all the panels are on. (picture where the panels go) Then narrow it down a bit more to the sections that will most catch the eye. Mainly face of door pillars and left and right corners of bulkhead below the windscreen. Mine wasn't too bad, but I did some gentle rubbing down of the galv surface, then applied thin layer of filler, rubbed that down, another thin film of filler, rubbed it down etc.
 
A couple of pictures of sorting mine.

I usd etch. Never read that you can't put filler on it.

I spoke to some paint shop today and apparently that it used to be the case but not now its ok.

Seems like no need to t-wash it just etch prime, its so confusing:)

Also advised to roller on 2k high fill primer and sand down instead of filler.
