There is a great deal of excellent material on the Painting and Bodywork forum of this same site. I"ve used such procedures on pitted metal and it has worked extremely well. Here"s one example.

An important element of dealing with pitted metal is to eliminate rust inside the pits. Otherwise corrosion will continue under the new surface you apply. If you are not sandblasting or using electrolysis, at least treat the sanded sheetmetal with a phosphoric acid based rust converter such as Picklex or Must for Rust. Epoxy primer followed by body glaze or body putty followed by primer surfacer will eleminate those pits completely so when you topcoat you will achieve a smooth surface.
