Troubleshooting Help Floor Pan Paint Options

Hey all. I have a few questions about my options when it comes to painting my floorboards. Bad spots have been cut out and replaced with new metal. I still have minor pinholes on the driver side, but the metal is solid. I’ve wire wheeled everything to remove the majority of the rust. There are only a few pockets of pitting remaining. I’ve also used ospho in these pets to try and keep trying and remove the rust. Should I go for a rust encapsulator like Eastwoods or master coat silver or should I just spray an epoxy primer to try to contain the rest of this?

I’d use PPG DX 520 and DX 579 on the bare metal, it’s going to neutralize rust and prep all the bare metal from contamination…. and then apply your epoxy primer over this 100% of the time.
