"permanent rust sealer aluminum pigmented non-leafing primer" - what is this

I think the plan is to cut it all back and see if clean underneath ...... meaning I hit either metal and no rust ...... or skim body work and clean. Anywhere there is evidence of pinholes or "suspect" I will take back to metal and remove rust and reskim if need.

Then epoxy prime it and block it out as best as I can ...
then go from there ....

lmk --- will be my first one.
