As long as it is surface rust, I will second POR15. It is moisture curing urethane, and gets pretty darn hard. Can be used for all sorts of repairs when combined with cloth. They make a chassis coat product that is made for frames. Hit the surface with ospho or some such treatment and then the POR15 and the rust stops.
There is another product called Rust bullet - pretty much the same thing, only UV stable and silver in color.
On the unproven front, I used some of Rustoleums new spray on rust converter/topcoat on a few non-structural bits to see how well it contains. So far seems to hold up well. I used it on the outside of the brake master:

Which will be interesting to see how it holds up to brake fluid as well. This Picture was taken after 3 months. Infamous PO wire nut seen in background - I think this would be from the "how do I turn off the dash fan" hack.
