It that is the case, wirebrushing or light sandblasting followed by a coating of your choice wuld be in order.
If it is outside, I would suggest sandblasting to remove old paint,checking for pitts in the surface, followed by a clear penetrating epoxy primer, then a 2 part polyurethane coating.

If not then clean it and leave it bare.
If this gets submerged then you should blast and re-coat with a high quality product.

Often times, the chamber is flooded due to groundwater ingress from chamber coverslab joints. (ie. poor water proofing)
Thank you for the advice.
