Working on some of my vintage implements
which have rusted to the point where no paint
is evident, I discovered that dipping the parts
in muriatic acid for 15 - 20 minutes not only
eliminated rust (even penetrating the pits,
which sanding and grinding often miss), but
also exposed tiny flecks of original factory
paint that was previously undetectable.
Muriatic acid can be purchased very cheaply at
your local hardware store (for etching cement).
It's very caustic, though, and needs to be used
outdoors, due to the fumes. FWIW, Tony
