I got a nearly new large swamp cooler today for $25. It needs new pads, and
has slight corrosion inside, nothing deep nor penetrating. The rest of the
paint throughout looks very good. It has a one horse two speed motor, and
is downdraft.

What type of paint would I buy to cover up the corroded spots? I have
already gone over them with an electric grinder with a cup knot brush, and
have the corrosion and flaking paint cleaned off. Do they make special
concoctions for swamp coolers?

Lowes, etc sells paint specifically for coolers. The same or similar
to this Amazon listing

While you are at it, I would suggest you re-seal the pan with the
sealer also made for coolers by same mfr.
