Default Rusty interior trim cleanup and single stage?

My recent 66 Catalina purchase has seen some moisture on the inside and has some surface rust on the interior metal trim pieces...some worse than others. I am fairly green in the auto restoration world, but I am capable of learning it. I originally wanted to have someone soda blast the trim, just because I figured all of the little sharp bends of it could be hard to hand sand out? I attached a picture for reference...I would say this is a "bad" piece. Some pieces just have a few dots of rust.

I also have my own blaster and wasn't sure if anyone has used certain medias that have worked? Or maybe good ol' fashioned hand sanding is just what I should do. I'm not opposed.

Lastly, could I get by with just some single stage color match paint (reef turquoise) since it's interior and won't be exposed to the elements. This won't be a full restoration because the outside is a patina car. Just looking to freshen the inside up since I'm putting new carpet and seats in it. New guy to the forum and appreciate any feedback. I've been using the search option and reading all I can. Thanks a lot!
