Default 1950s Chest Freezer Refurbish

Wow cool stuff. I would love to see pictures before or after.

We love old cool stuff.... our phone has a dial on it our coffee pot is from
the early 50's and we camp in trailers from the 30's through the 50's which
can have cool old appliances in them that often times work just fine.

This might be OT--is there an alt.refurbish.old appliances?

We have a cool old freezer, a GE Hotpoint 20 that came with our house. I
love it! It still works great, and I like old stuff. It matches the 1949
fridge in the same utility room, enamel and chrome, very cool. (Also ...
both have run nonstop for the ten years we have had this house, whereas
the new, plastic and crap side-by-side we bought five years ago lasted
three years.)

Thing is, condensation has made the top of it rust. The former owner
obviously did some repainting or something at some point, but it has
rusted through again.
I have it defrosted and cleaned, opened up and drying out now.

If you were going to refinish the top of this thing, how would you do it?
I want to really seal the rust the best I can, then paint white like the
rest of the thing.

Thank you in advance for any help.
