It'll look like a dogs dinner.
It will cause problems if you ever want it painted properly.
It'll hide rust forming underneath until you poke your finger clean through the parts where its bubbling up.

Don't like the sound of Hammerite on a bus. I'm sure you would have heard a lot more about it if it was any good ,

There was a fad a few years ago for painting old cars with Rustoleum (US branded paint) diluted 20:1 with white spirit, with a lot of coats. Rustoleum isn't officially available in the UK but is similar to Hammerite.

ATEOTD if Hammerite was a good thing to paint cars with all the body shops would be at it. It's not bad for painting engine support bars, gates, farm equipment etc.

So is it okay for using on your cargo floor?

Noticed it being used a few times on bare metal after rust has been removed.

You can buy rustoleum in the uk, Rustoleum combicolor is what they use. I've seen some really good results done with it using a roller. It's a much better product than hammerite but not everyone's cup of tea. Being oil based if you change your mind and want to use conventional paint after you will be looking at bare metalling. It's quite popular with the wedgie owners
