The Rattacuda was born .

Glad you got it back! Might I suggest run over it by hand with some 180 grit, wipe it down with Ospho till wet ( in the shade and when it is 60 degree not 30) I will donate to you the $12 for a qt of the stuff!
The Ospho will turn the rust a darker sorta shinier look and help keep it from getting wore. I will leave a powder on it but wipe that off. I will look much better also. IF you prime it with an epoxy primer, always neutralize the Ospho to be safe. That is respray a heavy coat on let it sit a little and wash it off GOOD with water. Some brands of epoxy can react with the Ospoh ( phosphoric acid solution)...
Send me your pay pal address or your mailing address and I will gladly donate the cost of the Ospho. Usually to be found at a True Value hardware.
Hang in there bro and keep this cold wind out!!! BRrrrrrrrrrr
