The primer -Zinser or whatever you’re using ( I always have SBR knocking around) is to stop the new filler absorbing more of the water in the finish coats of paint than the surrounding existing paintwork, not to cover it with an opaque layer.
When filler isn’t sealed it can grin through - this is especially noticeable with paints with a sheen.
