Refurbing a wheel

I'm refurbing a wheel with some light kerbing in one place. Its just one wheel so I don't want to go mad spending on paints. Does etching primer have any filling properties or do I need to get a filler primer too?
I'm going to sand the kerbing down and see how obvious the pit is after, but is there a chance I could fill enough with etch primer?

Etch primer is just and adhesive, you will habe to use highbuild primer 2k (filler primer) or you can use wet n wet primer and then paint it. I have done mine with highbuild

Have a look through my old project thread for returning wheels.

Sand it back, fill where need be, sand flush, key the wheel, prime, paint, lacquer.

No real need to sand back in between paints. Just make sure it’s clean

320p sanding discs and DA sander, sand paint and metal back where it needs, make sure that is preety smooth, matte the rest with red sctoch pride, then 2k highbuild prime it and wet sand it with 600p ( make sure that u use plenty of water) and then is ready to got for base and laquer.

This didn't come out as glossy as I'd hoped, what's the trick to gloss lacquer?
