    We've used sandblasting. You can have a local shop do it for you if you've not got access to one :)

    You can use a grinder attachment on a drill, wire brush, etc. to remove large rusted pieces. If the rust is basically "surface" you can clean as best you can and then paint with Rustoleum which will stop further deterioration.

    The rust can be scraped off using a painter's scraping tool and/or heavy-duty sandpaper. Wipe off any residue rust dust and paint the railing using a small brush for the top and corners. Use a small length roller for up and down the supporting rails.

    Remove Rust: Use sandpaper, a wire brush, or a wire brush drill attachment toremove all the rust and loose paint. (NOTE: Wear an approved dust mask or respirator when removing paint or spray painting.) Remove Dust: Blow off or vacuum the railings to remove as much dust as possible.
