Be MUCH better to prime the bare wood and sand the solid paint down
to match the level of the primer, then repaint to match. Polyester
filler is not designed for use on wood.


Even better would be to sand the bad areas down to feather edges, then
prime the bare wood to build up a primer layer, which may take a couple
of coats of primer. Then sand this primer area down to flat with the
existing paint, and finish paint. Just feathering out the damaged area
will most likely result in the repair showing.
