0.9 cold-rolled will do for most patches. Zincseal is OK for welding, but not Zincanneal.
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

I always use 1.0mm cold rolled You can buy uncoated, but it is not as easy to get. Most steel places will have it with a phosphorous coating on it.
You can sand it off at the edge welding areas,
