Hi Dave, yes spray some zinc rich weldable primer on there.

And before you fit the panel i would recommend spraying the inside of the panel in whatever you are going to paint the car with. That way you will get into all of the nooks and crannies. One its fitted you can then touch up any damaged paint afterwards.
