I have some expanded metal I'd like to lay in the bottom of my roof rack. It's lightly rusted and I need to know the least labor intensive way to prep it for paint. All ideas appreciated!

In my experience if you dont completely remove the rust or chemical convert it it will rear its ugly head again.
Case in point:My floor board....I used that paint over rust paint that is supposed to stop rust.It didn't,thats why I'm in the process of stripping all the paint off and grinding/chemically treating it before the herculiner goes on.
