Hi All,

There is a product that is called "rust converter",I know it works,as I have used it on a rusty fridge,there are also rust resistant paints,But I would prepare the metal tube properly first.
However,as has been said,repainting is quite a job,but to stop any further rust action,the rust converter may be worth a thought.

An Interesting fact,
40 years ago I worked for a new Car dealership as a trainee spray painter,the current model at the time often arrived straight from the factory,with rust spots in the sills,doors,and many other body panels,and it was our job to repair,and repaint the offending sections.
To be fair and honest,NOT ALL,new cars had this problem,but there was enough to keep us busy.

Seasons Greetings.
John
