smoothing rust pits, and engine bay color Options

[scotty914]

ok i am slighty motivated to go work on my car again. i did the engine bay in paintable undercoating, now after seeing all of the pretty engine bays i want to clean mine up. so i am going to pull the motor or more like untie it and strip the under coating. the reason i did the under coating is two fold one was for sound purposes, the second was my pass side frame has rust pits but no rust holes. my car is black ( only real porsches are black). but i want a brighter color in the engine bay.

so do i use epoxy filler to fill and smooth the frame, i know grinding would take too much metal out, or would por 15 fill em in. i am thinking about using por 15 silver in the engine bay but how would that look with the body black or are there better colors. btw i do not have spray equipment so thats one reason for por

Wurth Rocker Guard is a nice coating to use. It's best to spray it with a schutz gun but it can be applied with brush or roller. This is an OEM Porsche coating. It can be painted over any color you like. If you decide to prep the metal and paint I would not use red glazing putty for filling pits and imperfections. This is lacquer-based and it can shrink, and it's incompatible with a lot of topcoats. Instead use polyester putty.
