Well, so for that red and white thing, It looks like it is a cabinet, so its large. And it looks like it has a fold in the metal, If it can't be taken apart, I personally would not use a chemical on it. If it were mine, I would either sand blast it, or sand remove, wire wheel, then heat it to 200 degrees, wash it with automotive etching solution, which washes off with water, use boiling water, and heat it up the rest of the way to 220 and be sure everything is dry in that crease, or crimp. Use compressed air, or nitrogen to blow it out. Then use automotive etching primer. Then regular primer, then paint it.

You will have to do the etching to etching primer pretty quick, as the etching solution makes the metal ready to oxidize, within 20 minutes....

As for a chassis, I like the idea someone said to use wax. I have a scratch in the car, I keep it waxed, and no rust.... Even up here in NY Salt Hell....
