I have taken my front nose cone back to bare metal, rest of car will be done. All the dings have been knocked out and i am going to epoxy etch prime it, but i was wondering what to do with all the smaller stone chips and deeper scratches . Will the high fill take care of these or do i need to fix or rectify it before i etch prime it? Thanks in advance for help and advice Make mine a Holden with the lot !!!

The other alternative, which is not the best way is to put fine fill putty in the chips. It is a really fine filler available from paint shops. You can even get it in a tube.

I am still a little unsure as I am talking about stone chips and scratches in the bare metal and not the paint. Do I fill these with fine fill putty before i etch

I prefer to undercoat it, then fill all nicks & spots with "Duco" "Quick stop" putty - which is a very fine single part filler you can get in a tin or a littl
