Re: painting bed
In the area where the sides meet the bed ,what I would suggest is priming that area with a permanent rust sealer. apply two coats along that seamed area and paint it and assemble it. Anywhere that dirt and moisture lay flush it out good with an acid-based rust remover, follow it up with two coats of the aluminum pigmented permanent rust sealer , then prime and paint. When you drive the bolts in and scratch the surface the rust won't go beyond the scratch.
