My 53 3100 has some rust pitting on the sheet metal. I media blasted, treated with phosphoric acid, epoxy primed, sanded, then applied Featherfill G2. When I sanded the G2 I can see the pits reading through. Anyone had this problem?

What do you mean by reading through? You can still see low spots?

Sounds like you may have to use a skim coat of filler over the pitts if they are too deep for the primer to fill.

Yea, start with a THIN skin coat of filler, sand down to bare metal, which you can do with a DA, leaving the filler in the pits and then prime.
