Having now collected the spaceframe for the sandrail build, its time to prepare for painting, but first I want to blend all the joints, any high points in the welds will get sanded back, then blended with filler. Should I fill onto bare steel or primer first ? The frame in question  If I have added the right picture Ttfn Glenn |

I would (have) personally use a brushable seam sealer over joins and welds, which fills in the low points and makes them look presentable. Imagine it'd be a little more flexible too.

personally i'd go for a decent quality etch or zinc primer before doing anything and then can seam seal as suggested above or fill it etc

I was always led to believe filler adhered to metal better than than paint/primer, that's what is was designed for. Am sure some body shop experts will confirm.

Can't do multiple quotes,
Would seam sealer give a good finish, be rubbed down ?
Plan on using a good primer, probably a coloured one to give the Tunis yellow a bit more glow,
