While addressing a couple rust areas, I ran into a hard white substance that was painted over body color. It appears to be squirted or brushed on pretty thick. It wasn't applied with much care. I was able to chip, wire brush, or sand it out. I'm curious:
  1. Are these factory applications?
  2. What's the modern equivalent?
Thanks.

This is surrounding the heater vent tubes in the engine compartment.

This is covering a half-circle cut-out in the driver floorboard just ahead of the pedals.

I'm guessing the same stuff was used in the rear trunk over the screws holding the muffler shield bracket.

Factory painted over it. Designed to be painted over.

No issues at all.

Don’t judge me on the hillbilly AC holes patch job. I have the proper Restoration Design panel but needed these gaping holes filled in short term for a cross country move. Didn’t have time to do it to my satisfaction. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) Attached ImageAttached Image
