Preserving crust

[rickyd]

Bought this at the swap with nothing more in mind than a wall art project. Seeking advice as to what others have used to create a surface that retains some character yet does not look like bleeding rust. Some pics would be nice. Thanks in advance Rick

Looks pretty dry, I'd Johnson Paste Wax it.

THERE ARE PAINT PRODUCTS THAT LET YOU PAINT OVER RUST
AND IT SOLIDIFIES THE RUST. I THINK IT MAY BE A RUSTOLEUM PRODUCT.

If you build it...it will ride! No really, Scott has a point.

Shoot/spray it with a light coat of BLO thinned down with mineral spirits.

Rub a potato on it

But potato's contain OA.

WD40 it. Then send it to me. I'll build it and ride it instead of making a useless wallhanger.

send 200 dollars to my paypal account [email protected], your address and it will be on its way. I might note it is rusted through in about 6 places and being held together with what appears to be jbweld and yes I will spray it with wd40.

If it wasn't rusted thru, I'd be interested. But... I'll pass.
