SEM also makes a good weld-through primer (P/N 39783).    IMHO, I have used lots of SEM products over the years, and have found them to always work as advertised (or better).

That's the answer I was looking for! I was not aware that 3M had a weldable primer.
I knew someone made it because my friend uses it when he installs door skins. I just haven't had a chance to see him in a while.
  Now to actually work on the thing!
