Scraping off decades of paint is a bitch. Earlier layers oil-based;
later ones water-based (California banned oil-based). Uneven wearing.
Spots that look like beaches on a lake...various depths.

In past years I used SOMETHING ???? to fill in that did not wear well.

Paint store heard my sad story & said Bondo could be used to fill in low spots.

Bondo possible?

Use DuraGlas

Bondo makes a filler with fiberglass also, but I've never tried it.

Be prepared for some tough sanding.


I don't really like Bondo because it'll suck in water (lots of talc as a
filler)

Alternate idea - heat gun or torch to get *all* the old paint off, then
etch with muriatic acid and paint as per usual?
