Default Refinishing drives

I have a pair of bravos I'm going to repaint and epoxy a new nosecone on they do have a little pitting on the gimble rings what is the best product to use for filling those Pitts. I have heard many products looking for the longest lasting.

Sandblast , spray PPG DP Epoxy , you can use Evercoat metal to metal to fair in the nose cone , spray 2 coats let dry for a day and sand with 320/400 use PPG Concept single stage as for the ring same thing but just spray epoxy 2 coats and sand you cut through or didn't fill pits spray 2 more coats till smooth and no cut throughs

The epoxy primer will fill in the rest. Spot blasting should be fine.
