Default Restoring an Old Bath Tub.

We just acquired an antique claw foot tub. The interior (porcelain) of the tub is in great shape, but the exterior is pretty rusty in places. What do you recommend for refinishing it?

I don't have any good answers but I would like to see a picture.

I love how bathroom fixtures were once pieces art.

Remove all the rust with a wire wheel on a grinder and then paint it the color of your choice.
