Another excellent rust killing product is Ospho, a dilute solution of phosphoric acid.  Scuff the surface and liberally apply Ospho.  It will chemically change iron oxide to iron phosphate, an inert salt. Once dry, the surface is primed.  Spray, brush or roll your choice of paint and you are done.  Mo vapors to worry about and no rust in the future.

My dad used Ospho on the boats when I was a kid.... brought it home to use around the house and I still use it today when needed!
