What's the best way?

Just keep them treated with ACF50 or something to keep the rust at bay, wee bit of parafin every now and then with a wire brush too.
Your only gonna paint them and then scratch them again.....

Late to the party as ever but I've been repainting some aged racks (from 1996 and never cleaned, although given a shoddy repaint sometime).
Anyway, I used Hammerite satin black - treats the rust and looks really, really smart. Well, after two of four coats. You can get it in Halfords. Make sure you get satin not gloss, then it has that quality sheen

hammerite garage door enamel is excellent, does the rust thing as you'd expect from a hammerite product and gives a very hard smooth finish

Have you thought about mounting some castors on them
