Used Castrol Super Clean first then pressure washed it to get some of the big chunks and the oil and grease off.
A lot of wire brushes from Harbor Freight and a chipping hammer. (like for welding) It gets the big stuff off and gets into the small places that are hard to brush.
Rust-oleum Rust Dissolver gel.
Says leave on like 30 minutes.......I left it on all day. Put it on before work and spray it off when I got home with my electric pressure washer. Pour it into a bowl and use a paint brush to put it on. Used 4 bottles total I think. Leaves a white residue so after probably 5 applications and I was done with the gel I used super clean and pressure washed it off.
Corroseal Rust Converting Metal Primer.
Paint it on with a brush. It looks like milk going on then turns black. Let it cure. Used a little over a half of a gallon.
Rust-oleum Professional gloss black spray paint. Gloss because it cleans easier. Used about 5-6 cans.
After 1 application for 30 min to an hour. I could see this wasn't going anywhere fast.
During an application. Left this on for about 10-12 hours. Put it on thick.
After probably 3-4 10-12 hour applications.
Finished and painted gloss black.
