Introduction

If you have a garden cart that is rusty and you want it to look clean and shiny again, there are a few steps you can follow to get rid of that rust. The process may seem complicated at first, but once you have done it once or twice, it will become second nature.

Put the cart somewhere outside and wait for a dry day.

The first step in removing rust from your garden cart is to put the cart out somewhere dry and sunny. If you have a shady area that gets plenty of sun, this will work fine. Otherwise, find a flat surface where it won’t be disturbed by foot traffic and out of the wind so that the humidity inside doesn’t get too high. If you’re worried about getting wet, place a tarp underneath or around the entire cart for protection against precipitation (you can move it as needed).

Cover the wheels and other parts of the cart you do not want to paint with blue masking tape.

• Cover the wheels and other parts of the cart you do not want to paint with blue masking tape.
• This can be easily done by placing the tape around each wheel and any other parts you want to keep clear, then cutting it off at an angle. The tape will be stronger if you fold over one side of it before attaching it to your cart, though this is not necessary.

Apply rust remover to the rusty parts of the cart.

Rust remover is a powerful chemical that can remove heavy rust and loosen up remaining rust before you start to paint. It will make your job easier in the long run, so it’s worth using it if you have access to one. If not, don’t worry—you can still get good results without it! Just use steel wool or sandpaper instead.

Follow the instructions on the can carefully when using any kind of chemical product; wear gloves and eye protection at all times; do not mix different types of products together unless instructed by an expert; wait until after application for any skin irritation to subside before touching metal again (especially if washing hands).

Wait for the rust remover to dry, then wipe it off with a cloth.

Leave the rust remover on for 2-5 minutes, then wipe it off with a clean cloth. Don’t use your bare hands—you may get some chemical burns from the rust remover. You can also use an old rag or paper towels to do this.

Don’t use water or soap to clean off the rust remover, as that could strip some paint off of your cart (although if you’re restoring an older metal cart and want to restore its original color, then don’t worry about stripping paint).

Put down a sheet of cardboard in a work space that is not windy, where you can work on your garden cart.

Now, you’ve got to prepare the surface of your cart. First, put down a sheet of cardboard in a work space that is not windy, where you can work on your garden cart. Make sure it has a flat surface and then use a paintbrush to apply the primer.

Check that all parts of your cart are rust-free by running your hand over each section.

• If you find rust, repeat the steps above in Steps 1 through 3 until all pieces are clean.

Now that you have a clean and rust-free cart, it’s time to paint it!

Apply primer to all sections of your cart using a paintbrush.

Now that you’ve rust-removed the cart, you can start applying primer to all sections of your garden cart. To apply the primer, use a paintbrush and spread it in thin coats on each section of your metal garden cart. The primer will dry quickly so make sure to allow it to dry before applying any more layers of paint!

Wait for the primer to dry, then apply gloss spray paint to your cart according to directions on the can.

Wait for the primer to dry, then apply gloss spray paint to your cart according to directions on the can. This step is important because it helps protect your metal from rusting in the future. Allow the paint to dry for 24 hours before using your garden cart again.

Allow your cart to dry for 24 hours before using it again.

After washing, allow your cart to dry for 24 hours before using it again. This will ensure that no moisture is trapped in the metal and that your new paint job will last as long as possible.

If you are in a dry climate, you can use an air compressor to speed up the drying process. However, be careful not to touch the paint until it has dried (and even then, it is best not to rub or scratch at it). If you have any doubts about whether or not something might cause damage, err on the side of caution and give it another day before using your cart.
