I have a different interpretation of your question. If you mean can you remove the pits by sanding, the answer is probably no, unless they are very shallow. Is there a primer to cover them? Most primer surfacers will fill very small pits. Sand thoroughly first with 100-180 grit, apply epoxy primer, then primer surfacer. Sand the surfacer with 400 between coats until smooth. If they are deeper pits, sand and use a two part putty from Evercoat, 3M etc, then epoxy prime, then primer surfacer. If you have trace rust left, apply a rust converter after the initial sanding, hopefully it will remain in the pits when you sand the putty. Use the two part putty, not the single stage stuff that comes in a tube, that is mainly for pin holes in body filler, and filling sand scratches, perhaps very small depressions. The tube stuff is really just very thick laquer primer, and you don't want it to be too deep. It also shrinks. I'm lazy too, but there is no easy way to do it. PPG makes a sprayable body filler, but I have never used it.
