    It's not a simple job. You have to
    • remove all removable parts
    • remove all rust with sandpaper (and a scraper if needed)
    • treat the affected areas with chemical rust remover/convertor
    • wash and dry
    • paint with with primer
    • paint with 2-3 layers of spray paint

    E.g.Rustins Rust Converter 250ml Clear  Toolstation


    Replacing can be simpler.
