I also bought some 'Rustoleum" (sp?) primer and some Rustoleum flat black paint.
I got hard core scrubbing pads, very coarse sand paper, and a wire brush just to be sure one of them had to work.

Ill have to look into that cold galvanizing spray, I dont know if the primer is phosphate, Ill have to check.

I scraped a little piece of rust off and of course I dont know much about it, but It doesnt seem that badly rusted.

The phosphate primer (names like "Phos-Go" - thin, greenish stuff) chemically neutralizes rust remaining after mechanical removal. Cold galvanizing spray prevents (or suppresses) new rust. I'd clean the inside of the pier and spray with cold galvanize, too.
