I used "RUST KILLER" which is a rust inhibiting primer, which is working fairly well so far.

I don't know of any that do but if your rust is in the same spot mine is, it should be too noticible.

The stuff I used turns to a primer so you can paint over it once dry.

Mine is light gray very similar to the stock primer from what I can tell from the rock chips on my hood.
