Radiator tube protection?

I got two original radiator tubes from a junk yard. They have some rust inside the tubes, so I'm going to sand blast it out and try to smooth them up a bit on the inside. Is there anything I should spray on the inside of those tubes to help protect them from getting rusty again?

I realized that I said tubeS. I meant tube. I did get two, but the other is the air pipe to the carb, and isn't nearly as rusty.
So powdercoating is best, but expoxy from a can will get by.

What did you mean by "Fill and drain the tube"?

Epoxy is not all the same stuff. Real two part epoxy requires mixing and polymerizes by catylitic reaction. The material in spray cans is being mislabeled (opinion) to imply that it has the same properties. It may have some of the same resins in it, but the difference is dramatic.
Purchase two part epoxy in two small cans, Mix a modest amount, and fill the tube with liquid, then drain. The result will not need to be red (it is inside)Then paint the tube IH red. JimN

If you refer to the overflow drain pipes from the neck, to bear the bottom of the rad. I would clean them well, and have them powder coated inside and out with IH red. If not that, I would use epoxy paint, and fill then drain the tube. JimN
