Did you have to do any filling? If so, what did you use? How many layers of primer/paint have you used etc.?

yeah a little filling mainly on the wheel i've taken all the shots of. Its stuff from halfrauds, isopon p38 easy sand paste.
4 coats normal grey primer, 6+ coats of satin black.

If i was to re-do them would maybe use filler primer 1st. There are a few tiny marks only noticeable under the right light.
