I am at a loss as to what to do to treat the rust on the painted surfaces. HELP HELP HELP!!!

Bill where in the NC mtns are you? We used to have a place up in Franklin.

Rust treatment has been covered numerous times. Lots of good info out there. Use the search function for oxalic acid, sort by relevance.

I live part time in Haywood County.
