Do not use Hammerite/Smoothrite as it dires too brittle. If you want it to match the car colour as it may have done originally at least in parts a alkyd-based coach enamal is the best preferably over some stone chip shutz.

If you want it to last then cover the whole lot with black Wayoyl shutz. Paint balck chassis bits with Chassis Black

This assumes all rust has been cut out or stabilsed and sealed

This may help, its the wax injection points for the MGB. All holes should be injected.
