You could make sure all the repairs are coated in POR15. It's not porous, it'll just go matt with UV exposure.

is this stuff expensive, and will it be able to be apinted over the top with tupac paint or would i have to undercoat again over the top.

You generally just use it on the repaired patches, then undercoat the whole car. It's not hugely expensive, not uber cheap though.
