As said get it galvanised.

I'd agree with the above - its a good ol' mild steel so it will corrode with alarming speed.

If it was me, I'd try either a good dosing of red-lead primer and a tin of paint or, seeing as your in Nunny, try getting galvanised. There are heaps of places in the Cov area that can do it. Personally, I wouldn't bother about zinc-passivate (that natty looking gold coloured coating) as, IMHO, its naff.

Sharpshooter:
What about using Silver Hammerite?? Will look shiny, and be protected. :)

petergalileo:
If you like the rubbed down steel look why not buy a tin of Laquer and spray a few coats of that on, then it will look like rubbed stainless and wont rust for a while.

You can also get a nice silver colour from halfords, its called Audi aluminium silver, its a great colour.  Its silver with a very slight blue that barely noticable but makes the silver really stand out.

If you want to paint it and never have to worry about rust again, either get it galvanised as suggested above or get yourself some etch primer.  That has a mild acid mixed in with it that kills any oxidisation that may be left after rubbing down.  You then paint over the top of it.
