HOW TO: Rust off Iron Plates(weights)

[t_ginuwine]

I bought these at walmart. Total crap, little bit of water on them and they totally rusted. What stuff out there that can get rid of em?

I have the same thing happen to my sportchek irons.

wipe them down with some wd-40, I wouldn't do the handles cause it could be a bit slippery

[jollyeskimo]

sand the rust off, then spray with protectant/sealer

steel wool (bulldog) should do the trick. . .

tremclad enamel paint is cheap (~4-8$).
sanding paper and sanding handle should cost 10-15$ and is something you'll always need...

Wire brush, steel wool, lacquer thinner to clean them up (*use gloves*) then a rust paint of some sort. I'd have a rack or something setup, do one side at a time, take your time and they should turn out great. Lots of light coats.
