If you need a quick fix I see no problem with coating the little hole under the accelerator pedal with POR15 and then perhaps some epoxy gunk they sell - what is it called Numetal? - or is that the KBS version? Anyway for the sake of a few extra minutes of scraping before you weld you could at least drive it to the welders...
...I'm not sure about the just drive with your foot on the poll option - I reckon my size 12 (US) would slip off and press the other pedal by mistake. I could see it all going wrong for me...
Anyway as for the paint and welding problem you can buy primer that you can weld through. I don't think it is meant to be used for spot welding though - but for some sort of (magic) wand welding(!) I'm pretty sure it would be fine. This stuff gives a layer of protection before you add in the cavity wax solution. Please note - once you weld over it, it dies so right up to the weld isn't protected anymore.
I don't know if it is available in Canada but dinitrol is a fantastic option. All of the MGB boys swear by it - and they should know 'cos those things really rust.
