Demon Rust on Jag Rear End - Chemicals, Mechanical or Blasting

[rbsWELDER]

The Jag RE that I purchased came out of Boston. Needless to say it is rusty.

I have finally disassembled it down to the components. I do not know if I want to paint it or plate it, at this time.

My question for this group is ---- Since I have time on my hands, How do you recommend that I take the rust off?

- Chemically (D-Rust-It?????)
- Media Blast (What media?)
- Mechanical (Belt Sander/Grinder/Scotch Brite Pads/???????)

I appreciate your help!

Yes , Yes and then yes. I would start with a chem, then media then the scotch brite will make a surface that paint or power coat will look beautimus maximus on.

Of course if you just want to totally polish it out as mine is, bring a big lunch and prepare for the battle, ha!
