What is this covering around the engine bay cover??

See attached pic... Some has lifted at the side with surface rust but most looks ok... but I would rather remove it all and clean and paint underneath... but will I be able to replace it? Looks like it is moulded to the ribs pressed in the steel? Maybe like a flexible bitumen type roll that has set? I have no idea what is called...


Many thanks....ImageImage

Factory sound deadening methinks

I might just remove a small amount around the edges to see if the rust spreads under... seams a shame to remove it all... but if I have to what is a suitable product to replace it with?

Cheers

Plenty of sound deadening materials about such as silent coat.
