any special prep involved " de scabbing the corrosion " or is it a straight forward
as steel panels Rub down, fill, prime, paint? not done alloy panels before

Just to be pedantic they aren't alloy panels they are ally (aluminium) panels.

To be correct, rather than just pedantic, they are aluminium alloy panels, not aluminium (ally) as Aluminium as a pure metal is too soft to be of any use and corrodes quicker than magnesium and is therefore alloyed with other compounds to make it stronger/ more flexible/more corrosion resistant/etc.
