No it needs to be tacked till its solid then ground slowly so u dont warp it grinding either. Once its ground smooth and u dotn have holes left hit it with spot blaster or wirewheel then apply ur filler

i would grind those tacks down( i like to use 36 grit resin discs) using a electric grinder can make the metal hottter and warp it. also tack/grind tack/grind DO NOT cool it w/ air or a wet rag as it will shrink the metal and warp it! just take your time.

you want to apply body filler to a clean metal surface. dont apply it over primer or paint.
