hey guys im currently doing a first time respray on my car and im getting one of my panels ready for high fill. but ive noticed alot of chips that are down to the primer and some bare meta.l now whats the correct way to fill the chips will high fill. fill the chips or would i etch prime

If u give your panels are good feathering out and a good high fill the high fill should fill any little imperfections you got.

if bare metal is in some chips i reckon you will have rust creaping under the paint, so paint strip it, deoxide, then prime if you cant be bothered, feather as much as possible and use knife putty (fine fill plastic filler) to fill them if you feather them all down too metal you will end up with wabbles from all the lows

Spot putty.....

wont work, will tend too shrink back when it drys and will be back at where you started

feather em back,180 on the orbital sander couple of good coats of hifll primer then block the thing back with240 then guide coat 320 on the orby then 500 paint
