What to do with paint chips?

Gonna be painting my z on my own, dont really expect much as im sure it will get chipped from rocks and dented from cones. What I've been told it to just sand the old paint with 80 grit for primer and to not strip it to the metal. My question is what do I do with the spots on my car where the paint has chipped off and you can see the metal, its got a good indention in it and isnt smooth, what do I use to fill it? very little bondo? Thanks for your time.

Easiest thing to do would be to sand the chips in the paint so that the chip is feathered on the edges. If you use a high build primer (filler primer), then you won't notice them. It also depends on the color of the final paint. Dark colors like Black, will show even the very slightest imperfection. If this is your first paint job, I would recommend white. It is very good at hiding even fairly significant imperfections.
