Like warchild said, blast with whatever you wish to remove the mill scale, although you don't want to much of a blast profile. No reason to outgas. If these parts are going to be subject to road salt and such or your in a coastal (salt air) locale you may want to consider a primer before top coat. Iron phosphating is also an option.
