As Russ mentioned, after you do the naval jelly rust removal you will have a bare metal that will be shiny, bright and a different color than the surrounding zinc coated metal.  By painting the small area you derusted with silver (I have mixed silver, green and sometimes a touch of black to try and match the zinc color) it looks closer to original than a clear paint, lacquer or whatever material you choose.
Cheers,
Bob
