should I grind off the thin surface rust or just apply rust converter?
Hello everyone!
This is my first time spray painting steel. My plan is to use wipe the implement with a thinner, spray rust converter, use a two component primer followed by two component enamel paint. I've been told I don't need to remove the surface rust because it is so thin. What are you thoughts?
If grinded, I am not sure how much of the surface detail is going to show through the paint.. What tool (angle grinder, orbital sander...), what wheel type(flappy, wire, nylon..) and what grit size is best used to remove thin surface rust that will leave appropriate finish for the paint? I feel like angle grinder is going to make an uneven surface. I don't currently have an orbital sander at home, so I cannot test it. Do you think orbital sander is the more appropriate tool?
