Rust solution?
I have a couple small rust spots on my DD, I was going to use an attachment on the end of a power drill to get the rust off, then paint it over with some Rustoleum or something similar. Any other suggestions

I have a tiny bit of rust on my nearly perfect condition 87 t2, and want to remove it as well before it gets bad. I'm not ready for a paint job yet.
Probly will try that.
there's a good product called rustmort that turns the rust in to primer that you can sand and paint over.

man, forget the naval jelly, that's nasty stuff, and frankly it doesn't work that well. It does get the rust off, but it does not prevent further corrosion.
Use a wire brush, whatever to knock off the loose stuff.
The use POR-15 or Ospho(or phospho-plus or the like). That will not only get rid of the rust, but it will prevent any future rust from ever forming.
I think the rustmort is similar to ospho and POR-15.
The phosphate products I mentioned(and maybe that rustmort stuff) turn iron oxide into iron permanganate, an incredibly tough inert black substance.
It's kind of like a primer, but for a good paint finish it should be properly done, with epoxy primer and then paint.
Ospho works great, it's a chem, but not nearly as caustic as naval jelly.

lbut yeah, burns big time, eats through all but the 'thickster' nitrite gloves(even those don't last long) the worst is inhaling that nasty vapor. Although whenever I use any rust fighting chem I always wear my respirator....

I just wrote that about the jelly, becuase any rust inhibiting paint, only slows it down, not stopping it, that's why POR-15 and the like are so trusted by classic car restorers(providing they can't get good sheetmetal)
