Check the areas that are black for blistering, if so, panel is shot, as corrosion is too deep.
As far as painting, I would investigate an acrylic enamel, or enamel base paint, both used in automotive and roofing panels that are not anodized or powder coated, as adhesion and wear are excellent. Residuals are I believe, a minimum. Check the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) when you find the product you are interested in. These paints use a reducer/hardener to make that impermeable surface like an epoxy paint.
Don't know if HPM sells it under their Sikkens paint line, but you could also check the Auto Supply Center in Hilo, or maybe Napa in town.
These are all spray based paints unfortunately, when you use the hardener, although you may find brushable or roller applied enamels there as well.
Best of luck!
