I think you may have misunderstood the question or I misunderstood your answer. I meant the machined surfaces not the paint prep.

Gunner,
What do you use to do the derusting? Why wouldn't you clean up the rust BEFORE you paint?
Steve

I used a wire wheel and a phosphoric acid liquid to "kill" any remaining
rust that I couldnt get.

Using a good tough wire wheel to get off any flaking paint and thick
rust. and then the rust killer does a pretty good job,.and means I dont
have to dig deep and then putty the gouges back up before painting

After wire wheeling, I used mineral spirts to get any dust and oils and
grease, then brushed on a coat of the phosphoric acid solution, waited
an hour..then was ready to paint.

Final paint tommorow..all the trim work, then set all the covers and
finish the electrical.

poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the
