Well I guess I'll chime in here and get you some guide lines at least. First of all , your biggest problem will be all the rust you elude to. Forget the wire brushes etc , if you want this to last even a few years you need to get rid of the rust. Blasting is the best option for what you are dealing with. Primer doesn't stop rust that's allready rthere. I am also assuming that the pits that are there after removing the rust are not an issue ? or are they? If not then blast it and use 2 component epoxy primer and shoot it with whatever paint type your pocket book will stand. If you don't intend to fix the pits then you may want to opt for a semi-gloss or even flat finish. A glossy finish will make it look like crap. A low quallity synthetic enamel will eventually be flat anyway but not in a uniform way. Forget the hardners , you don't need them for what you are asking for. Bottom line is prep it right and prime it with the good stuff and paint with whatever you can afford.. Now if you change your mind and want it to look new then there will be a whole lot more to it in time and dollars but we can get you there also.
Probably 2 gal since yellow usually doesn't cover well at all. Forget the online paint purchase in my opinion.
