Hello all,


Allright, I have the Imron paint properly mixed to match my paint color, I have the hobby airbrush and necessary thinner. Whats the best way to seal the wood and build it up so I can paint and have it look proper? Below is a sample of the types of repairs I am trying to do. Any and all advice is welcome.

Thanks!

I use the West epoxy to seal and fill the wood. It works great for me.
 
A second vote for West epoxy. Have used it several times and it works great. Since you can add filler to make it thicker it also allows you to create a level surface to match the undisturbed paint surface. Required no primer to spray Imron on the epoxy when ready. Just wipe it off with water, dry, scuff the surface and spray.
