Bikes, lika any other metal object, can be powder coated or painted with regular, enamel-type paints. They can also be galvanized, but this is rare. Aluminium bikes can be anodized.
On top of that you can wax them, which will be further protection against rust. At a pinch, you can also simply rub oil/grease over them, but that will make riding the bike quite messy.
