When using vinegar to remove rust will it also remove the paint underneath?

« on: 26/10/2016 09:23:01 »

Tony Parone asked the Naked Scientists:
Vinegar Rust Removal.
Will the vinegar attack the paint beneath the rust that is forming?
What do you think?

It depends on the paint, but it is unlikely to affect most of the paints used on metal. Just remember to clean it off thoroughly before repainting.
