Refinishing pitted titanium golf clubs

I FIND MYSELF REFINISHING TITANIUM GOLF CLUBS THESE DAYS AND WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE HAS ANY ADVICE ON HOW TO PROPERLY PREPARE A SUBSTRATE IN WHICH TO TOP COAT. THE MAIN PROBLEM I HAVE IS WITH THE PITTING OF THE CLUBS AFTER BLASTING WITH GLASS. IS THERE A PRIMER/FILLER THAT CAN BE USED TO FILL THE HOLES? THE HOLES THEMSELVES ARE NOT VERY BIG AT ALL BUT NONE-THE-LESS,THEY ARE PROBLEMATIC. I'M NOW USING A WASH PRIMER. IT DOES NOTHING FOR PIN HOLES. ANY ADVICE WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
