Well...the best way to go is to hire a pro, because the best materials for the job are not only very toxic (and illegal to use with out license) but also require things like spray booths and clean air for a good job. If you can afford it, ask your painter to do this:

First, get the hull down to bare metal by sand or soda-blasting. If you choose soda, make sure to also use a neutralizer afterward.
Immediately use a two part epoxy primer made for steel boats. Apply the recommended number of coats with the recommended flash time in between coats.
After the epoxy gets tacky (but before it completely hardens) color coat with a marine, linear, two part polyurethane.
For best results, clear coat with the best UV stabilized clear that is made for the color coat.

Or... you could just use paint from Home Depot and brush it on yourself. Use brown so the rust doesn't show later.

Just curious and thinking ahead, what is everyone using for paint on the exterior of their subs?
Thanks,
