    I have used JB Weld to fill pits in aluminum that will be left unpainted. The dark gray color is going to be noticeable, especially if you polish or satin finish the surface. My guess is that you won’t be happy with it. Under paint, use JB Weld for sure, although there are other good products.

    I have not used any of the aluminum-filled epoxy materials that would have a closer match to the original metal; perhaps one of the members has.

    Let us know what you discover.
