One of the BMW manuals that I read suggested spraying a zinc rich primer on bare metal surfaces before they were spot welded together. I used this procedure when I replaced the front fenders.

I use a product called Bondaprimer which is a zinc rich primer. I have had very good results with it on other steel items which are outside, and I live near the sea!

Hi!

I use epoxy primer on all sandblasted and bare metal surfaces on my e9. Epoxy primers are very strong and reliable in all weather conditions.
You realy have to work hard if you want to remove the paint after it has dried.
I sometimes use a zink primer on welded spots (after welding) , never before because zink primers are VERY toxic when heated, unless you use a kind of breathing air system of course.

Thanks MALC , I've red all your posts , i am thinking about purchasing the bonda also !
What do you think if i use the ZINGA and above it some epoxy primer ?
Unfortunately I have not heard of Zinga so I don't know
Henrik make some good comments and you should work in a well vented area when welding, even raw steel gives off nasty fumes.
Basically your looking to protect your hard work so plenty of good underseal and wax/ rustproofing will be a bonus on top of a good primer and paint system.

After welding I would recommend POR 15 which sticks like glue after shotblasting - try a google - it is a non porus paint and extremely hard wearing...
