Re: Rust removal question

what tools do you have available? compressor that will support a sandblaster? just basic hand tools? maybe a strip it disc or a flap disc on an angle grinder? these will not get into the tight corners or holes in the frame. like said above, sandblast and epoxy is what lasts. it depends on the built I guess, if you're just cleaning it up and wanna fresher look but not worried if the rust comes back then do what you can with what you have and then paint it over with rust paint. it will last tilk it doesn't but it is cheap to do and easy enough in tight spaces.
wear safety equipment, eye and lung protection and coveralls if using a wire wheel. you only get one set of everything. ventilate the area as well as you can.
