Should it be ok with the Rust-Ol self-etch primer there? Anyone have experience with this particular self-etching primer? I'll eventually be painting the bellhousing & engine the same Chevy blue once I can get the engine repaired.
Thanks

I was more wondering if what I put on it was permeable or porous? Or not the right stuff.
The bellhousing as it sits is better off than it's been in many years, I just don't want to paint it & have it come right off because I used an improper primer.
