If you really want it to last. Clean the metal of all rust, wire brush,
sand, etc.
Spray an automotive etching primer or epoxy primer and apply automotive
paint. Talk to your local auto paint supply house for primer and paint.
My opinion - PPG makes some of the best automotive primers and finishes.

good luck



Expensive overkill. Clean, and roller with Rustoleum.
