    adding life to old equipment

    I've recently bought an old school Gold's Gym power rack (it's pretty bad arsed!), a couple of standard bars and weights. They've been left out in the weather and have some surface rust on them. What is the best way to clean the rust off? and What paint is suitable to repaint them with? Thanks.
