Rustoleium is making a product they call "rusty metal primer". It is designed to use in a situation like your describing where there is just a very thin 'dusting' of rust. The way I understand it does exactly what your talkin about in that it binds to the rust and further actually converts it to a primer. Then there are products like Marhyde, and other brands with different names that do the same thing, that do nothing but convert any lite rust to a primer. With it you then really need to prime over those areas so you'll have a uniform color under your paint. I've tried it on several things over the years and I can say for a fact it works. Beyond that a rust remover can be applied, or you can sandblast it to get the rust off but in the end you don't want to paint over rust with regular paint as the rust will eventually pop right through.
