Quick and easy you could rub it back etch prime it, and paint it any colour you wanted but it may not last that long.

I got a quote of a local company to do mine as it's got a couple of little corrosion marks and thats brand new - i was quoted Ł25 to strip the old coating and re-coat in zinc yellow - the company is well known for being expensive as they dominate the market up here so you may get it cheaper down south
