Painting Dart Iron Eagle cylinder heads while in the engine bay

My cylinder heads have developed quite a bit of surface rust over the years while my car has been sitting and it's about time I paint them. I will be pulling off my Hooker 2210 headers and getting them coated. While the headers are out I would like to paint the cylinder heads. Does anyone have any tips on how to remove as much of the rust as i can while in the engine bay? Also, what type of paint to use? This is my first time doing this so any tips will be helpful.

Thanks,
