Before you sand, it may be superficial rust. Have you tried cleaners on the spot. If anything take a small dab of WD40 and that can sometimes lift the rust off while coating the exposed metal and preventing it from rusting. If there is any area left without paint you may be better off to paint the whole stand with a light coat of matching paint.As mentioned above.
Touch up rust spots in black steel speaker stand?
Hi,
I purchased a pair of Osiris speaker stands for use with a new pair of Merlin TSM monitors.
Considering that these stands haven't been manufactured in over a decade, the ones I got are in amazing shape, but there are some very small rust spots around the base of the vertical pillars, and I'd love to touch them up if I could.
I was thinking of perhaps removing the rust with some fine grit sandpaper, and then repainting with some flat black model enamel.
Anyone else done this sort of touch up job? Any hints?
Thanks!!
