Pretty much, you're just looking to take up the space between the dimples.

180 them first and use a light coat of plastic primer first.

before you start degrease them quite a few times to remove all traces of silicon and degrease again before you apply the plastic primer

Or slightly longer method, sand down the dimples with a sander, the plastic prime, primer, paint

Avoids filler/primer sinking, did it when I painted the interior in my corsa c

I did this. Electric sander makes light work of them.
