2 part epoxy putty
I guess you are talking about Bondo or a like equivalent.
There is "spot putty" that's used to fill defects in primer before the final color coat is applied but it's not suitable for use in filling deep scratches.Deep scratches will need to be sanded down to primer and built up from there.
If you're going to do the repaint yourself my advice is to go to a paint and body supply jobber (the place the pros go) and get their input.They know the products they sell and how they should be used.A good store will also give you good info on how and why to do things you don't know about.
Another thing.Don't get in over your head.Painting a car is an art
and scienceand not to be entered into lightly.It takes respirators and other special equipment along with moutains of sandpaper and supplies.These things are expensive so if you want a top of the line paint job,I'd leave it to the pros.

yes.
epoxy, though, is for glueing things together, like bumper plastics. You need something much different. If what you're trying to do is prep the car for paint, you can use a polyester glazing filler, but sanding the scratch out is best. Harcore key jobs usually have dents in them anyway, so you'll want the glaze to fill those. I'd just take it to a shop and let insurance pay for it,
