i wouldnt bother, it will take them years to rust through, and even if u paint em give it 2 months and they will be back in that state anyway.

smooth boot, 2 options

weld a metal plate over the recess, sand it, smooth it & spray it

or get a fiber-glass panel which bonds onto the boot & then spray that, but it sticks out a few mm but if done properly isn't really noticeable
