Mm, now I see it I think it will be difficult to eradicate the rust and still keep the engraved postcode where it is. The priority is probably to neutralise the rust otherwise it may start coming through any paint or coating you care to put on it.

I think it would be OK just to repaint it on the inside somewhere, as long as that detail stays with the machine.
