I would say to use Wurth or Eastwood High Zinc content weld thru primer in cans to give the benefits which a zinc hot dip would've done if they did that back at the factory (never on 914s, but 76> they did for the other P-cars).

I think that whenever you're ready to paint, then you can prime with a 2-part epoxy primer/etc. over it, but the zinc primer will protect the bare metal.

I've used the Wurth one on all of the body & part surfaces on my 73, as I've gone thru & wire wheeled off the surface rust areas, to "freeze" any further damage.

What ever you do don't use weld thru primer as a base, it doesn't have any binders in it, once dry you can remove it by wiping with paint thinner.
Best to use a epoxy 2 part Southern polyurethanes hot rodders love the stuff, me too.
