Default What adhesive to bond aluminum to fiberglass?

I'm in the process of building a new set of cabin doors. The core of the doors are glassed over wood and I'm going to be skinning them with thin aluminum diamond plate. What sort of adhesive, or resin/filler combo should I use to bond the aluminum to the glassed over wood pannels?

The aluminum has been blasted and pained on the front but the back sides are still heavily etched with no coating.

Your probably gonna want something that is a bit flexible but with a tenacious bond . . . . . And we all know what that is , 5200

5200 is apparently a bad word around here. I'm not allowed to use it

I think we've got some of the 4200 and it will just have to do.
