I would say they look a bit too far gone to be honest, even if you shift the rust there will be pitting underneath. Having said that sometimes you get a kind of scab of rust and the steel underneath comes up fine. With citric acid it helps if you scrub at the worst bits with a toothbrush every few hours if possible so the acid can do its stuff. I would say the ratio of powder to water you are using is ok if you give it time :daumenhoch:

Make sure the acid you are using is pure acid. Sometimes the stuff you get from brewery supllies shops have additives to help with the brewing, these dont help strip rust.

Nothing to report
I've had to remove from Citric bath as the wife wants her bathroom back  :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol:
As anticipated there is pitting to the chrome which is a shame
Some you win some you lose  :'(
I would have really liked to have done this Chrome & Blue as mine was BITD
I'm getting it powdered now as I'm not taking the chance of a dodgy re-chrome as well as the expense

Decision time now oncolour scheme  :-\

Let me help you out there;
It's rustier than a very rusty, rusty thing, from rusty'sville, Tennesey, and it WILL need blasting and powder coating. No amount of pricking about with 'condiment' will fix this piece of crap! There, did that help?
OH, that feels better!
