I’m going to make up a solution of phosphoric acid, I already dunked the smaller parts in coke to see how it would work and it took about 75-80% of the rust off.
I can make up 20 gallons of a solution similar to or just slightly more acidic than cola for under $10 and is safe for me and the environment.

Parkerizing crossed my mind and I am already setup for it but I’m going to give a KG Gunkote finish in a semi gloss black.

KG Gunkote would be a good option. If I’m not mistaken they recommend applying over parkerizing.
 
Parkerizing is one method if you don’t have the appropriate blasting media.

120 grit Aluminum oxide is the recommended media.

In the past I used to use glass media to give metal a “frosted” finish but glass doesn’t etch the metal like aluminum oxide does so the paint can adhere properly. I would parkerize after glass media before painting.
