In the course of clearing my yard I uncovered two heavy steel wagon tires. I's like to find at least one more but so far no joy.
These are rusted but still solid and I want to use them for flower bed borders. That's where these were when I dug them up.
Questions:
1. How can I remove enough of the rust to paint them black before reburying them. I really don't want to use a manual brush and I don't have access to a power brush.
2. Can I use Rustoleum wrought iron paint, maybe several coats to protect them?

I am betting they are pretty rusty? I would try a brush on a small portion of the wheel and see what occurs. you might have really great results. Regardless, rustoleum is a fine product, but I would knock some rust off first. Naval Jelly?
