How to get rid of rust
The work must begin with the removal of rust, and oxalic acid, which must be mixed with water until a viscous liquid appears, is an excellent assistant in this.
After treating the bath with such a solution, it is necessary to wash the bath properly, and then process all damaged areas with fine sandpaper. After that, you need to use a solvent at the same places. If this is not done, then the applied enamel may deteriorate.
After all these steps, you can proceed to painting the bath. For this, spray enamel is suitable, which must be applied three times every 30 minutes. But before using the enamel every next time, you need to make sure that the last layer is completely dry. And at the end, you can polish the surface of the bath.
