If ya hit it very soft with sand at an angle with the thickness of that metal you should be OK. Just move around and just enough pressure to take the crude off. I use muriatic acid on the rusty stuff but don't tell anyone I do that because all the knowitalls come out of the wood work and tell ya how it doesn't work, blah,blah,blah, Eco this, Eco that, Gotta get it outa the cracks crap. Been using it for 40 years without issue but you know the INTERNET knows all the rules, and the ones that are forbidden. Personally I think your missing it by putting color on it... nothing in my eye quite as beautiful as the natural beauty of patina. Id send the body back into the earth one rust droplet at a time. Just my two cents... paint can wait ya know while you pray about this decision! Man I'm turning into a grumpy earthy old fart
