Rusty bird feeder

I have a metal bird feeder which is getting rusty and I want to renovate it before I need to feed during autumn/winter. It is multi-purpose with hanging hooks for feeders, a (plastic) water tray and food tray.
Can I use Hammerite, or other similar product, to repaint the rusty bits (not the elements from which birds would feed), or is this not good for the birds...eg would the paint fumes affect them?
Any advice welcome.
