Depending on how exacting you wish to get with this body repair project, Retro Today, you may wish to look into this spot filler stuff they sell at auto paint supply houses. (Well, at least they sold it in those places back when I was a car-painting hobbyist, 25 and 30 years ago). The filler I allude to is essentially a thick primer/surfacer. It comes in a tube and you spread it with a wide blade-like tool, much like how you apply the plastic filler. It fills scratches, in both the metal (in the case of cars) and whatever plastic filler might have been used. And it sands out much easier than the plastic filler. Judging from your photos, you'll have some imperfections after you sand out that filler, which would be quite noticeable under the glossier finish coats of paint if you don't address them first.
What color will it be? Finishing it in black would make less noticeable whatever scratches might eventually befall that paint job. But another color (I'm thinking blue, or red) could be fun.

Thank you again DNO,
