The PS pulley has some rust but the pulley on the circulation pump has even more rust. It will sand the serpentine belt down if I let it go the way it is.

What's the solution? New pulley? Get it powder coated. Unsure if I can get it smooth with a wire brush and paint?

I have a bucket of EvapoRust and can soak it but unsure if that will get it smooth.
 
A new pulley set is the fastest solution...

If you want to try to salvage what you have a chemical rust remover and then bead blasting followed by a good paint is the best approach. If you opt for the powder coating don't put it on thick.
