Best way to fill and paint chips? (particle board/laminate)

[Tarantulas]

I may be using the wrong terminology, so I beg your patience, gentle reader. ;)

My DK Jr cabinet is of the particle board persuasion, and appears to have a "laminate" style covering on the sides.

Unfortunately, there are chips around the edges that I'd really like to repair.

I believe I've seen John use wood filler to build the edges up, and then paint to match.

If this the best course of action, or is there a better way?

Again, thank you for your patience.

I will be doing the same thing on my Mr. Do! just full with bondo and touch up with color matched oil based enamel paint. I actually did this on my junior as well where the operator had added 4 extra holes to keep people from pushing in the bezel. You can't even tell the holes were there now.

If you posted a video about that on Youtube, I just watched it earlier this evening!
