I would certaily paint the firewall white while the engine is out. You can use rattle cans. Ace hardware has good paint in their premium line. The gloss white is a good match for that. As long as you have a paint gun you can get a better job with it. You should do the inner fenders at this point also. Krylon Satin black is good for this. Rustoleom Rusty metal primer is great stuff. Spray it over rust & you can shoot the color in about 1/2 hour or wait till the next day. I am not connected with any of these products but I do a lot of engine compartment detailing & these are what I use.
