I ended up using the SCA Lightweight Body Fillerfrom Super Cheap Auto. I didn't use it all over. Just on those cuts and one larger gouge on the side. I used a Dulux etch primer and Rust-oleum Motospray red heat proof paint. I topped it with Cabot's cabothane satin spray. I wiped some camellia oil on the non finished parts. I don't know if it will protect them long term but I'm open to suggestions. Here's a before and after shot. I didn't want to make it look totally new, as it's not. Just clean it up and make it presentable. I'm pretty happy with the results.

That has come up very well indeed. You can give yourself a pat on the back.

Sandblasting cabinet
Thanks Paul.
I'm interested in buying a Sandblasting cabinet to help with tasks like this, which I enjoy. I love seeing things sandblasted in resto videos. It's my favourite part of the video. I know nothing about them. Can anyone tell me what features I need to look for? I probably don't want to spend more that $500 - $600; unless I can be convinced otherwise.

The cabinet is the cheap part, you then add the gun + hose + compressor at least 14 cfm to make it worthwhile

Thanks for the info Chris. Damn. I thought I'd be able to use my current compressor but when I checked it, it was only 7.8 cfm. It sounds like it's going to be a more expensive purchase than I thought.
