Prep work for painting

  Is there any specific type of acid, or name brand? Or could I just walk in 
and say, "Dood, I need some acid!" ?

 2.5) ALWAYS treat bare metal with acid (sold at paint
 houses) BEFORE painting anything. Turns whatever is
 left on the bare matal into black rust which is
 chemically inert, so it does not rust back again.
 Trust me, done it very often as I live in the land of
 the rust buckets...
