Just spray fish oil in all the holes. You are honestly never going to coat the insides properly with paint

Years ago my mate done a similar thing on his rodeo. He sent a sprinkler hose down each chassis rail, and pumped primer/paint through it.

Practically speaking it would be hard to remove existing rust and paint with a good success rate. The fish oil or lanolin idea is a good one.
I offer a perspective from the air conditioning industry - specifically cleaning. It may help you if you want to paint still.
Mould is something to be feared, especially in airconditiong. After all, you are breathing the stuff. Certain climates coupled with certain ducted air conditioning designs have inherent design problems with mould. Air conditioning ducts should be cleaned on a schedule, especially ones at risk.
One way to clean is to put a big Vacuum cleaner with filters (hepa filtration) on one end. Then compressed air is used to loosen the dust/mould. This could be via a air driven chimney brush, or cat o' 9 tails (rubber tubes the air travels down to escape - a bit like the air blower man you see at car dealerships and the like to attract attention - smaller and a heap more violent flapping though). As this is fed up the aircons duct, the dust/mould is loosened and gets sucked into the vacuum. On fans/blowers, they are removed and cleaned with a pressure sprayer.
Inspection holes are sometimes cut for access.
It is then painted with an anti mould paint.
Once clean the painting is done via paint brush, handheld spray gun, or robotic car (remote control car to drive the spray tip. Has an on board camera)
The paint gun is a bit different from the air compressor and paint pot we all know. The paint wand sits directly in the bucket of paint - looking like a large mix master. The paint is then supplied to the gun at a high pressure.
The hard bits for you will be cleaning out all the old muck, including existing rust, then applying paint.
Best bet would be to wash it out as best you can and let dry on a hot day, then either go for fish oil (which will soak the dirt - good) or buy any number of lanolin products (again, best applied on a hot day) that solidify in colder temps.

Yeah pretty much the same method used by Pure Protect (TM)Au (My cousin has a franchise in Townsville ) but was thinking about the residual left by mud from dust and humidity as it's a sticky coating with a etch factor. I do have access to a 800 kpa nozzle at work being a firie 30lts a min. that will move shite surely .
