Automotive spot putty

Painted on a coat of good quality Sikkens Yacht enamel on my kayak hull then noticed a few pits and dips. Imperfections that I couldn't live with. Thought to myself, I really don't want to get that epoxy fairing compound out again, I'll just wetsand the boat and get some good auto spot putty (which I did) and prime with auto primer. (All to save mixing and long drying time). Then I'll wetsand and reenamel maybe... 2 more coats... instead of one?. Have I committed a major blunder? (This is like saying "please say no I haven't!")

Thanks heaps to Paul J. and Nick and others who helped me out in the past with my fussy finishing questions!
