How bad is it, is it minor and just on the surface or something quite wide and deep. Any chance you can get a picture up.

Kurust is a good starting point for surface rust. Make sure you remove the flaky stuff with sand paper or something so it can work on the rusty stuff. Make sure you get rid of the rust before you start painting or it will all come back again so repeat with the kurust. Take your time with spraying it and do your prep with increasing grits of wet and dry for a better, smoother finish.
