Rust inhibitor

I bought a used tailgate for my 82 f100 flateside, ive taken it down to bare metal it has alot service rust. It has a couple bondo areas on one side but overall great shape. My question is im gonna try a rust inhibitor but can i put right over the bondo? I have tried to find the answer but have not been able to. If anyone knows i will gladly hear the answer or the best way to cover the tailgate then paint i will be greatly appreciate it. Thanks for your time.

I would remove the bondo, if it's exposed at all then there is probably rust forming underneath it (it's hydroscopic). Then do rust inhibitor, bondo, epoxy primer, and paint.
