Removing rust?

[Karen]

It's easiest just to sand it off, then paint over it. After you sand it, make sure you brush it off, so the spots are clean and no dust before you paint. It won't taken much pressure - a wire brush will do the trick to sand it, no fancy equipment necessary.

Its in GREAT Shape except a few spots of rust on the chrome.

Any ideas on removing rust?

Some folks swear by "Coke" (Coca-Cola) poured over and rubbed onto rust spots
to remove the rust and slow down reappearances of the stuff.

Kinda depends on just how big the spots are - little or tiny pin-spots clean up
very well with the Coke treatment - then wash, dry, and WAX the area.

If you sand & paint, you'll have to do the entire piece (fender) - including the
non-rusted areas. Paint won't stick very well unless the chrome surface is
"roughed up" with sandpaper or a wire brush.

---OR---
Get some Vinyl cartoon characters to "stick" on top of the rust spots.
A truly "Custom Ride" look!

Yup this is what I was going to say.. We always used Coke Cola.. The acid in the Coke works wonders..

Wow, I did not know that! I don't drink soft drinks, though; never liked them except I did have a cherry coke once and I thought it was ok. Jeez Louise, it takes rust off. I can't get over that.

Ever been driving at night, in the rain, and find you can't see the hood ornament
because of the streaks and glare on your windshield?

Yupperz, you need to find a COKE machine!
"Regular" or "Classic" Coke works best ...

Buy a 12 ouncer (a 20 oz if you want a sip or two for yourself);
Turn OFF the wipers;
Pour the Coke on the top of the windshield,
and *RUB* it in with you free hand;
Be sure to get some on the wiper blades;
Hop back in the Bus and turn the wipers on ...
After a couple os *swishes* ... YEE-HAW = no streaks / no glare!!
