Hi Brian,
That amount of rusting is not bad. Follow through with your
intentions and all will be fine.
I suggest flat black paint is appropriate for a heat exchanger.

While working to remove the rusty exhaust mixing tee I noticed
significant rust on the oil cooler exterior.
I decided to remove it for inspection.
Here are some pics:

Looks to me to be in ok shape. The exterior rust does not look too
deep. My guess it is caused by the leaky exhaust which is just a few
inches away.
The corrosion at the braze weld is a bit concerning, but since it is
not also occurring at the seawater exit end it probably is also
caused by the leaky exhaust splashing onto it, rather than
indicating corrosion from within.
My intentions are to just do a rust removal and repaint on the
exterior, and a removal of the corrosion on the nipples.
Any input is welcome.
