You can in fact use filler over the primer as long as you sand it with sandpaper no finer than 180. All of the new fillers and glazes will adhere to 180 grit sanding. Once you have primed and blocked your filler/build primer and get it where you want it, you will want to spray a primer sealer over your bodywork. But beware, most sealers need to be painted over within a certain amount of time otherwise it loses adhesion capability. When you block out your bodywork, use 240 grit. If you want to leave it sit in primer for an extended length of time,and have the metal and bodywork protected, use an epoxy primer. When you finally decide to paint it you will have to sand or scuff the epoxy primer.
