DA,
if you have a mig welder? a small 120v, aluminum wire (I don't remember the type weld wire), pure argon does a wonderful job at filling those bad spots and with good color match. I use a used mig Italian job, it has a short lead to the gun. The brothers I bought it from said they hated it cause it was so short. i handed them the 50$ and said short is good I'm setting this up for aluminum. They stared arguing then they were rolling on the ground wrestling....I left! I did a large casting that shifted, oh it was ugly but I got to really try it out, then mill a spot, also cut some with the saw. It worked better than I thought it would.
Heck for those small blemishes a little spot filler would be fine!
it's the blue one, tank is behind the tig to the left of it (I'm not that good at tigging!) My son does the tig! and he has a Miller syncro 250.
