I would not bother with rust converters. If you are going to paint, I would spend several hours with some 300 grit and wet sand. You will be surprised at how much paint and rust comes off, and how easily it comes off. The spay can is one way to go, and if your good you can lay an nice even coat on. The problem you might run into is that it tends to fade quickly. I had a buddy shoot the tin on my M with a about a quart of impliment paint with harderner added. I didn't have him do the head lights though, (didn't have any at the time). I sprayed those with a can. Everything matched when done, but the head lights have faded noticable in the last three years compared to the rest of the tractor. The one thing I wouldn't skimp on is the sanding of the tin, nothing looks more amaturish or cheap then paint over rust, the couple hours spent will more then make pay off in looks and durability. Especially when it can be done for just a couple dollars and an afternoon.
