I have used a wire brush and a Dremmel with a round sandpaper attachment to remove rust. Use a spray primer and then spray paint. Rustoleum is a good brand that I use frequently.
Hi Norma, I have used steel wool. It will usually remove any loose rust and particles. You can then use a great paint (like Rustoleum) to refinish the wrought iron.
You can spray down with WD40, let it soak on it over night. Use a wire brush to remove. I coat the rusted areas with Rust Converter. It's a spray can I think Rustoleum. It helps prevent the rust from coming back because rust is like a cancer, it will keep growing unless you get it all. Let dry then spray paint with Rustoleum exterior spray paint in any color you wish. Next step is to enjoy your renewed table.
Steel wool or steel wool pads with soap can help to remove the rusty areas, then rinse and dry well. As others, Rustoleum is a wonderful paint to use afterwards that will help the area to remain rust free in the future.
Go over the wrought iron with a dry paintbrush to remove any tiny rust flakes or dirt.
Sand the wrought iron with sandpaper to further remove rust.
Mix a solution of water and commercial rust remover in a bucket.
Dip a wire brush into the solution. Scrub the remaining rust spots on the wrought iron with the solution, scrubbing in a circular motion.
Brush of the rust residue with the paintbrush.
Dampen a sponge with plain water. Wipe down the wrought iron to remove any further residue.
Apply two coats of rust resistant paint. Use a medium-bristled paint brush to apply the paint in smooth, even strokes. Let the paint fully dry in between coats.
There are some instructions here:

Stiff wire brush to remove excess. Then you can try WD40 or naval jelly to remove small bits left.
WD40 and Rustoleum make an excellent rust remover.
Hi Norma, you can wire brush the rust off then make sure it is clean and dry then repaint it with a metal paint. Hope these help you out,

Hi! I use a wire brush to remove the loose stuff. You can also sand it to smooth it out and going to bare metal will give you a better finish. Be sure to wear gloves and goggles. Once it's all cleaned up, I use Rustoleum spray paints. They have excellent primer and paint. If it's exposed to the weather, there are good exterior sealers to further protect it. Good luck and stay safe!
Hello Norma,
Remove loose rust with electric sander, or Wire brush. If you have bare metal, use metal primer before painting with either a wrought iron paint or use something like Hammerite that will go directly over rust. Done lots of this work this spring - I still have more to do. Really they all benefit from a coat of paint each year until you get a good build up of paint.
