My white, metal bathroom baseboards have some rust spots. I’d like to get rid of them and then paint over them with white. How do I get rid of the rust so it’s paintable. Also, do I need oil paint? Thanks for your help.

Just sand the rust off the spots. Clean your register well. I used a satin finish, a couple of coats. Easy to clean now! -

Or you could get rid of it. We put toe kick heaters in our bathrooms under the vanity. They're great and you get rid of those nasty heating runs. No matter what we did, they would just rust again. Here is a basic search so that you can research them. Good luck.https://www.bing.com/search?FORM=U452DF&PC=U452&q=toe+kick+heater- See 2 previous

Try scrubbing the rusted areas with a brillo soap pad. Then wipe with a wet cloth to rinse. -
