Default that should do it- assuming there isn't rust there already.

undercoat spray might be a better idea though.

Default I would wire brush it, sand a little, wipe with a paint prep pad, and

Then hit it with a few coats of self etching rustoleum type primer folowed by a top coat of something bc lots of primers can absorbe moisture. I'm not a body/paint guy but that's what I've always been told by those whom are. G/L w/it
