You use galvanised nails, you don't use one quick coat of cheap latex paint, only top of the line proven acrylics, like 40+$ per gallon.
Don't think of trying to touch it up, way to late for that.
There is a product call POR 15, available at Kona Marine. They should have a sealer primer to go with it. P 15 is a rust reversing product that also provides a durable protective coating by itself, and would be a stopper where ever it could reach rust. That's after scrubbing down the entire surface, , and then scraping out the nailholes to expose the rust. However the POR 15 is hazardous but as little as you use, any adult should be safe. Contract it
