Sorry to jump in here but this is exactly the sort of conundrum I have!
I have an old Viking frame (70s/80s I think) with quite a few rusty patches/chips. I quite like the sound of the Hammerite option with a wet sand and polish as I don't want to spend a huge amount of cash.
Is it worth sanding away all of the rust (to bare steel) or is it quite okay to get rid of the worst then apply the Hammerite straight onto it?
