Filler primer with lots of sanding.
Might try this question in the "Body/Paint" forum instead.

| What part of the gates, and how much imperfection are you trying to work out? Just trying to get the flat areas as flat as can be? Trying to smooth out welded seams? |

...can't imagine even filling the gates with bondo...LOL, I do use bondo and like the stuff, but it's a truck and imperfections are natural. My gates are bowed out a bit and there are nicks and dings from working it...don't want a pretty little truck though.
...have an extra set of gates in case, I bought maybe 15 years ago...still have not used them
