Do not clean the rust off of the core. It helps provide insulation between the plates. So unless it is crumbling rust. leave it alone. If you have already cleaned the core you could paint it before reassembly. Believe it or not, a core works better if the plates are isolated. That is why it is not one large iron lump.
