Hi I have an engine bay I am working on currently and had a few questions about prep before applying epoxy.
First I have sanded most of the engine bay with 80 grit but not all to bare metal as you can see:

Can I go ahead and do a wipe down with 700 after cleaning and masking or do I need to get it all down to metal? I was hoping to use a red scotch pad for the crevasses and was unsure if it was ok to have 80 grit scratches and 400(?) grit scratches on the same panels.
Secondly I have some rust spots from plug welds where some panels have been replaced and was wondering what the best solution is for eliminating/ converting the rust. This is what I am talking about:

I've heard removing the panel and rewelding it is the best solution, however I don't have the means to do that.
Thanks in advance.
