Once again THANK YOU so much. I’m glad you told me of the acid. It belonged to my wife and she says it was red and white with chrome. I am restoring for our granddaughter, she’s 2. Wife wants it as original as possible. She doesn’t want to replace the handle bars or anything else except the tires, and grips. Even though there will be some pits, mostly on the handlebars she wants to leave it as is. So with all that being said I decided to use a sandblaster I borrowed from a friend. Don’t freak out I bought a bag of very fine and a bag of fine to use as blaster medium. This should remove all the rust but not damage the metal itself. After this will clear coat with high quality enamel clear coat this should seal the metal and then paint. There is an automotive paint place here where they can put whatever color you want in a spray can, automotive paint quality in a can. It should work. Also I found a Sears 1958 catalog with the trike listed! Bought it but haven’t got it yet, only thing is it’s not color. Excited to see the end result. I’ll post pictures of progress as I go along.
