id kill rust cold gavit for extra protection and also make sure you treat it with a rust converter first to kill any off

and if you use a hammer finish it can mask some surface rust damage/imperfections the bar may have

Fourplay,

You can to get a Kill Rust etch primer in a spray can, when I recently refurbed the rusty steel bits on my ally tray I used it.

Try a larger hardware chain Mitre 10 or Bunnings.

I'd recommend etch primer over cold galv as a base.

Cold galv can go flaky under a top coat.
Give it a good buff with a 'black Betty' wheel (woven abrasive material wheel) first, don't need to remove all the paint but if you remove a majority of it the primer will work a lot better and finish a lot glossier..

Any good paint store should stock it, but a quick phone call to check is easier..

Check the rust converter is compatable with the paint you want to use, the one I used which works real well is not compatable / recommended with zinc based paints.

Dont killrust do their own primers

[BigRAWesty]

They do. And it has a light rust converter in it..

cold galvit is a made by killrust-wattyl and they have there own rust converter also i assume it would be compatable with there own products

This is what I used on roof cage then the black kill rust, worked a treat.
If there are any rusty bits on the bar, converter should be used, if only light rust you can get penatrol in a spray can which treats and seals the rusted area
