I Need To Re-apply Body Filler After Painting

I did some body work on a tractor I am restoring. I thought I had the filler sanded smooth and primed. After one coat of paint, I discovered a couple spots I need to re-apply body filler.

Do I have to sand all the paint off or can I rough up the paint and re-apply the filler? Any help would be appreciated. I know very little about body work.

Cheg,
Your best bet is to remove the paint before applying more filler. You want to avoid layers of different materials between layers of filler. Do all the body filler, then any and all priming and sanding, finally apply the paint.

Hi Cheg-I too am not an accomplished painter however if your bad spot is not too large I like to wet sand it enough to get the "bad" mostly out then apply a light coat of spot putty then wet sand again until it is smooth. May or may not go to metal. This works for me however many will more than likely disagree. Jack
