Keel protection

Okay so I have the hull scraped and sanded down to the gelcoat and ready to apply my barrier coat and antifouling. But what do you do with the iron keel? Is it wise to sand down to bare metal if the existing paint is well adhered? There are a few rust spots but I guess i can fill and fare. By the way what do they mean by fare,(is the spelling correct).

After it is sanded and fared are you supposed to barrier coat it?

So many questions and so little time, the temps are slowly rising and I starting to feel the pressure.
