Really simple Question: Filler for steel.

Hey I'm new to this site and pretty new to boats - so simple question...I am working on a steel hull yacht...It is blue. There are a few "dings" in the bow and on the side of the hull...though they are small they are big enough to need a bit of filler I think before I attempt to paint them. What is the best type of filler for nicks and small holes in steel?...remembering I plan to sand and paint after hoping to obtain as close to perfect color match as possible. Thanks in advance!

Epoxy (such as west system) with microballoons mixed in.
