Serious rust removal ?

Try RUST MORT.  I get it for about $20 a quart.  I see it go for much
higher.  Great stuff.  Try and clean up rusty spots first. brush on with
paint brush or spray on.  Let dry.  Reapply 2 or 3 more coats.  Metal turns
black.I did my Porsche 356 C gas cap which is very rusty.  Its kinda shinny
metal turned rusty.  I used Rust Mort on it and let it set up .  Did this
several times.  It turned like old flat black primer.  I thought , that's a
bummer.  I took Chrome cleaner with a scrubby pad, man tht ever shine up
almost like new.  I sprayed it with clear.  I love it.  I am SOLD.  I will
never will live without it.  Now, I am RUST MORT and POR 15 crazy.  You
gotta hold me down.  Your can prime over it and paint.  You can put POR 15
over it.  Thats a good way to go.  Did you know that on surfaces you can put
POR15 on with a paint brush and it dries smooth?  No paint brush strokes.
It does not fill up holes or pitts.  Buy POR 15 putty in a tube for that.
Great stuff.  Good luck.  I was successful. Hey, I will use this stuff even
when I die.  I will Por 15 my casket so that it will never rust out.  Ha!
It justa bout beats sandblasting.  What a mess that makes all over the place
not to mention it getting into everything like Jack R.'s  84 westie engine
seals.  Double bummer.
