Sussex blast in hailsham do it. You could give it a red oxide for a key for the paint.but it should not need it
But is it not easier just to have it powder coated it will cost about the same. Then you will not have to hand paint it.

Yes the key is to seal all the metal before the moisture gets to the bare metal remove all particles of blasting matter , oven it after blasting if possible then quench it with a rust converter like kurust re heat until dry and paint with rust preventitve of some sort ,red oxide , zink100 ,prime it then a hard wearing top coat the harder the better, plastic encapsulation (powder coat)? twopack paint ?
plus when thats all done add a good layer of waxoyle based underseal (found at halfords in a half gallon tub so it can be ladeled on!) jobs a good'n .
