If you can get to the back, primer and paint, same as exterior really.

what do i do if i cant get to the back of the section?
Use "Weld through" primer and try to get to the back of the repair somehow to paint it as well.(maybe poke a rag on a stick through a hole).
If you really really can't get to the back of it, maybe consider drilling a hole that you can spray some paint through. You could always block the hole with a rubber grommet.

and whats the best guage steel to use fo general repair?
1mm
