Painting rust

Wanting to paint the under side of my cab and frame, in eastern Canada it’s all covered in surface rust. Seems impossible to get every crook and cranny with a wire brush on a grinder. I got all the scales and flakes off. So what’s the best method to paint it a gloss black? Get a rust converter first? Or use a rust paint to paint over the rust? Any specific paints appreciated. Thanks

I have not use a rust paint to paint over rust so cant say how that would work?
I have used Eastwood's rust encapsulator with brush, have not tried to spray it, and it covers good on rust not so good on clean bare metal.
I would them top coat it with something.

Now when I did floors / rockers / etc. on my 81 F100 after cleaning the welds and seam sealing all the edges I used Dupli color roll on bed liner, 2 coats top & bottom no top coat.
