Default Know of a no-Primer-needed, RUST CONTROL auto paint in a SPRAY CAN?

I recently sanded the rust off my roof and now need to paint. Before you say anything, I only have a small compressor that isn't powerful enough for painting so I'm looking for paint in a SPRAY CAN. And wanting to save time, I'd really like to use a paint that doesn't need a primer. Plus it must have anti-rust properties. Know of anything off hand?

My XJ is red (or was before it faded to a nice patina) and I'm planning on painting the roof WHITE. Not a blinding white, a nice gloss slightly off-white. And, no, I don't expect a spray can job to look like it came from the factory but I'll be installing a large roof rack over it so I'm not too concerned.

All opinions and suggestions welcome. And thanks in advance.

I've used this stuff for years though have not tried it on anything as large as a roof:

Similar to POR-15 but available in spray cans. It's available in white.

This stuff is cheap and fantastic for working on suspension/frame/under body type stuff.
