It’s your firearm. Any spray paint would work from Krylon to RustOleum. You first need to remove the rust, steel wool, or sandblast depending on how bad it is. Then clean the surface of all oil. Tape where needed to keep from getting paint into the working action or paint with the firearm in peices so you don’t get paint inside the working of the action.

Sure you can.

Yes, you can. But you would have to cover up the important parts like the opening where you load the bullets and maybe the trigger and hammer (if it is the kind that uses an open hammer) You should probably use a type of paint that is supposed to be used on whatever type of metal your gun is made out of. You can probably go to a local hardware store and ask them for that specific type of paint. You should cover up the important pars with some type of tape. There are specific types of tapes that can be used for painting however you can use things such as electrical tape and plastic clear tape.

Before you spray-paint the gun, consider taking it to a gunsmith or Remington dealer. They may be able to save your gun without resorting to spray-paint or other refinishing. Remington also offers repair services directly that I have heard good things about.
If you want to change the look of your gun, try using a high-quality paint like DuraCoat. If all you are trying to do is remove some rust, I would try a less drastic option first.

First you need to remove the rust and original finish. This can be accomplished by using really fine steel wool or emery cloth (really, really fine emery cloth). Secondly, buff the metal out on a polishing wheel (use as fine as a polishing compound as you desire), until it is as smooth (reflective) as you want. Thirdly, Go to Walmart/Local gunstore, and buy bluing compound (not that expensive), Go home at end of step. Fourth, set barrel/action on bench over newspaper or a like material, and gently (carefully) apply bluing in long even strokes along barrel. Fifth, Pop open a beer, sit back, and let the bluing air dry (not in a dusty environment… that happened with me once… it was bad…). Sixth and Final, After Bluing has cured, assemble firearm, and enjoy. Don’t spray paint a gun. Some spray paints are corrosive, and even if not, it may trap moisture underneath and rot the living hell out of your barrel(s). I prefer a good bluing job to "spray paint". Spray paint just looks like crap to begin with…
