KRAP IT'S RUSTED!

If you like antique's like me you run across a few rusted thing's. Well.....alot of rusted thing's actually.
So...here's what you can do to turn something dull, rough, & rusty to brighter, smooth & rusty!!!
1st: you need something rusty
2nd: sand paper fine & medium ( you can sand by hand or use electric sander)
3rd: water hose
4th: PLAID clear acrylic sealer matte in spray can
Okay this is what you do:
1st: sand the entire thing until it is smooth all over
2nd: rinse with hose until clean let dry
3rd: spray with acrylic all over let dry
What this does is smoothes the metal and seal's it so you can set it anywhere and not worry about it flaking and rubbing off as well as not cut a finger or two. The seal doesn't take away the old look it just gives the color's a richer look.
