I'm not sure what finish your racks have. Mine are semi matt, with a rough surface finish which appears to have been powder coated. This is not easy to prep successfully, but can be done.

If bad, the rusted areas may need to be treated with an acidic inhibitor such as Jenolite & the racks then resprayed with a rattle can of Hammerite .......... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hammerite-5084778-Metal-Paint-Aerosol/dp/B0041WHCLI

Cheap way to get it done right.
You might consider putting some black electrical tape or other barrier between the metal when re-mounting them.

yer £40 to get them done right is cheaper sanding and can paint would,nt be good anyway, will do the electric tape thing to thank you
