Sandblast or wire brush on angle grinder.

Cheap: spray can primer and spray can semi gloss black by same
manufacturer.
Durable: compressor and expensive primer (ask your paint supplier) and
paint. Or even better, have everything powder coated (they will sandblast
too).

exchange!

I would use wire bruch on an angle grinder, not a drill, it makes a huge
difference. With the grinder you can easily remove all the paint and rust
on the surface. Then use primer and paint.
