You need to wash & dry it fairly quickly.
You can watch it rust when it comes out as it's so clean, even if it's dry.
I treat with phosphoric acid (rust convertor) which holds the rust at bay while you get time to paint.
I tend to wear gloves when handling parts straight out of the tank, if you get the molasses on your hands it's difficult to get rid of the smell despite multiple washes. You almost have to 'wear' the smell off......
