You could try this:

I have used it a couple of times very easy to work with.

What are you doing to the alloys?, is it a full refurb?. If it is then file back any kerbing with a metal file, only use filler if you have to and then only use small amounts. Any car body filler will do the job, if you want to be really keen then use that liquid metal stuff, however, I don't know how easy it is to sand.

That liquid metal tends to set like steel and u have to grind it smooth buts its good stuff and the putty is good too think its called jb weld i think
