Ok I have a question for all of the Brethren. Some of you saw my post where I rescued a older New Braunsfel Oklahoma Joe offset this week to refurbish it. My question is I have spent all morning working on rust removal. I started with just the firebox top lid since the hinges had rusted of so it was easy to move. It has some pretty good surface rust from sitting in the weather for years. I have been hours with a drill and wire brush cleaning it off and can not get it down to shiny bare metal. It removes all of the rust but it still has a brown rusty tint to the steel. It does look better after wiping it with a wet rag but still not shiny metal. Tried to find a sandblaster but no go locally. I am not looking for a showroom finish but functional that will last. Is there another way to get the shiny metal back? Or do I just remove everything the wire wheel can get, wash with soap and water, dry, clean with denatured alcohol, and paint it with some high temp paint. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
