How to restore a rusty kettlebell

I JUST finished my restoration project on a rusty 32kgs kettlebell that was badly in need of repair. It had rusted and that’s when it can start tearing the flesh on your hands.

With a couple of willing helpers and using some fine emery cloth for sanding, a car dent and scratch repair kit, wet and dry paper and some spray paint, the kettlebell came out nearly as good as new.

Try to avoid going to thick with the dent repair paste as it then takes longer to sand down. Keep sanding until it’s nice and smooth, wipe off with a cloth and then apply a couple of layers of paint.
