    use a wire brush to scrape away the rust and then paint it, give it two coats. brush or spray don't make much difference, just don't put on too thick as it will only blister.

    don't forget after sanding, to prime it.

    If you go to your local farmer's co-op, you'll probably find they stock the proper massey red in tractor enamel, which is hard wearing, and you can brush on with very good results. Light coats is the key.........

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”
