IMO I would say to paint them. You can hit it with a wire brush to clean off the rust. You need to be careful that you do not break the tubes by being too aggressive. You will need to use high temp paint anything else would cook off and produce a bad smell.
Does the frig work off LP? Are you sure the heating element is the issue? A lot of the time the pipes get clogged up with crystallized ammonia and will not work. Worse case you can replace to whole back part of the unit really easy, for about $400.
Good luck
