Best Answer

Remove the rust - There are numerous chemical cleaners such as petrolium jelly. There is the 'Navy way,' which is physically removing the rust with brushes, chippers and sand blasting. Clean the surface - Remove all oil, old paint and debris. Prime the surface - There are primers such as Red Lead or Chromium which are designed to bond with the metal and prevent moisture from getting on it and re-rusting. Paint away!

Rusty metal more than likely contains iron oxide. It is easy to remove with sandpaper. There are also chemical removers out there like "CLR" which stands for calcium, lime and rust remover. Be sure not to inhale any dust or fumes and it's a good idea to make sure you've had a tetanus shot within the last 10 years before working with any rusty metal.
