I understand you're supposed to rub away the rust with steel wool before you paint?

I would prefer to use spray paint, if that's possible.

Where do I start?
Or you can save yourself all the work, go to jet-kote and have your beater blasted and powdered for $75. Since it's a beater, it'll be perfect - powdercoat is very durable.
