Sand the shed down, clean off debris, use a good primer, allow to dry ,paint and protect with a sealer.

Tremclad. Sand or wire brush to make sure there's nothing flaking. Maybe Rustoleum as well. This is what pros use on metal.

personally, I like rust and rustic things..... but then again, I'm not in a neighborhood that I need to be concerned about what "they" think. but I would love to see a pic of it before you paint it. and try to think of a way to keep the "integrity" of the old.... embellish it to let folks know that it's old but still useful.... like a lot of us! LOL
