Rust, crusty Sears Avocado cleaned up but not repainted. Normally I use a satin finish, but the hardware store was out. I'm not a big fan of the gloss clear. Anyway, it'll keep the rust at bay.

What are you using to de-rust the frames, Sean?

An acid? Electrolysis? Mechanical abrasion?

Bump with a few photos

Worked on the Darth Vader 502... separating the Bunsen from the base is nearly impossible on a rusted 502 without heat/quench cycles. This one took 3 tries.

You make it look so easy, but we KNOW it's not.

Good job on the 502!
