Now that the rust has been removed, the pitted area of bare metal has to be filled. First, clean with a wax and grease remover ''(confirm this, and add other cleaning/coating options here)''. Then, the pits are typically filled by priming with a high-build primer, filler or similar product. Generally, the less product used, the better. However, it may be necessary to repeatedly prime and block sand to fill the pits. | Now that the rust has been removed, the pitted area of bare metal has to be filled.
