FYI for those who have one or similar one, the trans pan is paper thin and can weep. Mine was recently replaced under my 999,999,999 mile lifetime warranty. Just a hint of rust will penetrate the pan and make it leak.

Can you paint it or spray it with some sort of coating?

Dorman pan would seem to be the smart move here.
Get the Dorman pan that has a drain plug

Now is the best time to upgrade your pan.

BTW, the factory pan is also thin enough that the dipstick can wear a hole in it. In the 68RFE, the dipstick meets a "shelf" higher than the bottom of the pan. Diesels vibrate enough to help the dipstick eat a hole straight through. Same reason why a fluid extraction pump can't evacuate entire pan.
I have the Dorman pan on my auto Ram. Use plumbers tape on the drain bolt threads. Leaks with a crush washer alone.
