No -- skip the extend. Sand off all the paint and rust. You may be able to get the rust out of the pits with a wire brush on a drill, if not treat with Picklex, not extend. Then use Bondo after sanding off most of the Picklex -- putting Picklex over or under bondo is probably not a good idea, you may get a reaction, I don't know, I try to keep it off of bondo. Then put your primer on, sand it next spring and reapply, then topcoat. If it is inside, you are probably ok doing that. JD primer is not water proof, you will get better protection with epoxy primer. I assume ME is Maine, meaning humid (and cold!). It is too cold to paint there now -- you might want to wait until next spring to do anything. But, if you want to give it minimal protection, use the JD primer, sand it thorougly next spring and reapply. I don't know how thick JD primer is, if it is thin, you may still see pits through it, as the bondo is easy to sand out of the pits if you are not careful -- I use a surfacer over epoxy primer, it gives a smooth finish. I don't know what Acryl-red is -- whatever it is, it likely is not necessary, you don't need that many steps, keep it simple. It is impossible for me to make recommendations on products I have not used. Rod(NH) is the pit expert -- he may have something to add.
