Take it all back to the bare metal and protecta-kote it or speedline it.

but as you can see in the 3rd pic the rack is bolted to the board not the floor directly. i dont want to lose the rack.

Take it out, protektakote the floor, and then put the ply back on top of the paint.

You won't get the nice look of the protektakote, but you will stop the floor rusting that way.

Silicone or caulk around the edges of the board possibly using wedge shaped woods to smooth the angles off then protectacote the lot.
