After reading this again I would Return the surfacer, it doesn't fill very good and you don’t want that on the entire engine compartment. Use filler instead. Filler comes in a container with a tube of hardener. You mix it up and then apply it with a spreader where it is needed, not the whole project.
I would recommend DP epoxy primer mixed as a sealer. Reasons being that it goes on thin, covers well at a thin applications, and provides an excellent base for the color topcoat with minimal coats to cover. It doesn’t “build” thickness like the surface.
To mix it as a sealer you add more reducer. It goes on thinner and leaves a smoother surface. It doesn’t need to be sanded, but you can sand any areas that need more attention.
A person shouldn’t be applying these products under 60 degrees, it just has potential for more problems.
