The rust was so minimal and hard, I just painted over it after a thorough 3000psi pressure washer blasting. Cleaning rust off with a wire brush is a waste of time in my opinion unless you have loose or flakey rust. We used to wire brush but saw no improvement in how long the paint lasted. I used Valspar oil based low glosss enamel. Nothing too fancy, I debated about even painting it since this is going to be a work truck/driver. After looking at in now, I am sure glad I did, looks way better and will be easier to clean off the chassis when it gets muddy.
