It might help for you to provide more details about the extent and condition of the rusted floor panels if you want some serious feedback and help.

Apply Ospho (available anywhere that sells paint) with a dimestore paintbrush. I'm sure Ron is "mature" enough to know what "dimestore cheap means.(We are not old, we are fully matured).
Wipe it clean with acetone.
Paint it with Rustoleum Rusty Metal Primer.
Paint with color.
You will likely save yourself $100 compared to Eastwood products, and it will hold up for just as long.
