I have a Fire Pit that has a decent amount of rust on it but it's still pretty sound. It had some thick mesh
screening on the sides that have a coat of rust also... I want to de-rust it as much as I can and paint it.. Anyone have any rust removal tips to make my job easier???? Thanks in advance.... |
Any chance you have the ability to sand blast it before painting? That, followed by a coat of high-temperature paint would make things nice. 
*Harbor Freight has adequate blast tanks for cheap. You would just need a shop compressor (approx. 10+ CFM of air @ 90 PSI), which is not cheap. |
| See if you can find someone local who does dipping. Kinda like putting it in a hot tank. Had a local guy dip a cast iron patio set for me. Pealed all the old paint and rust off, and then I picked it up the next day. Cost me $25 for three chairs and a table IIRC. |
