Rust prevention for iron pipe gas manifold?

[aangel]

I have a black iron pipe gas manifold. It's a week old and already starting to rust. I'd like to treat it, cheaply if possible, to remove the rust and prevent future corrosion.

Any ideas?

You can sand off the rust, prime it with Rustoleum primer, and paint with Rustoleum paint.

Sand or brush it with a wire brush and remove as much rust as possible. Treat it with a rust converter such as Ospho http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000C02CDG/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 then paint. Or just paint it with rustoleum paint.

Thanks for the advice all. I have access to some chems that remove rust. I'll scrub, then use that, and then whatever's left of my rustoleum can.
