First of all, you do not need etch primer--because you are going to sand the sheet metal. Etch primer is for body shops using new sheet metal that they don't want to sand. For pits you need a two-part body filler type product-- there are many. You then sand it all off except what is left in the pits. If you sand too hard you will sand it out of the pits. Then use a two-part EPOXY primer, not etch. Cover that with a sandable surfacer or primer surfacer. Do not put the primer surfacer over the bare metal, it will not adhere nearly as well as epoxy. As you use the body filler on the pits, you can also use it to fill any small (1/8 in or less, I try to smooth it to 1/16 inch) depressions (dents). In the body filler used in the dents you may see some pinholes, those can be filled with glazing putty. The surfacer can be sanded, and reapplied until you are satisfied, but don't pile it on too thick. Some people recommend priming with epoxy before filling the pits. I don't know the advantage of that, as I prefer to put it on bare metal. Use 180 grit sandpaper before the epoxy. Do not sand the epoxy, but sand the surfacer with 400 grit before topcoating.
