I did some searching here and found it to be very helpful. My questions is:
My mom found a D.O. in the back of an old truck she bought. The oven had been painted with silver paint on the outside and the inside was really rusted. I thought it would be a fun project to see if I could save it. On a recent hunting trip I threw the oven in the fire for several hours. After being in there for awhile, I took a brush to it and most of the silver paint came off. I noticed it was really red from the rust under the paint. I took steal wool to it and have been scrubbing on it for awhile. I can't seem to be able to get all of the red color from the rust off.
Is there a point where the rust is just too deep into the pot and it isn't salvageable? Any other suggestions other than good ol' elbow grease.
Here is the oven after hours of scrubbing.
