I Want To Remove Rust, Yet Leave The Paint...Know Of Anything?

Hi all,


Now that I have the bike roadworthy,









I still have some work to do, however, I want to tackle this rust. The bike was originally blue and white, with pinstriping. I want to preserve this if at all possible. Original patina only happens once. While I have no issues with repainting it, it's a last resort, only if most of the original paint cannot be saved. My main concern would be finding the decals, any places you folks know of where I may be able to look?

A few people have pointed me towards this product: www.safestrustremover.com which, while it appears it will fit the bill perfectly, is a bit expensive ($25/gal+shipping.)

Does anyone know of any other products that are cheaper that would do the same job? I have no problem buying the product above and using it, but, hey, a penny saved is a penny earned.

Thank you all,

William D.
