[Healeys] Non Healey rusty question

[David Porter]

You might try some sort of "pickling" solution available at a jewelry supply
or a metal conditioner soak followed by a clear coat of something to prevent
further degradation of the treated area???\dave

Subject: [Healeys] Non Healey rusty question

Guys,

        I have a Non Healey rusty question?  I am looking to take an old 
pickup truck tailgate and use it as a wallhanger piece.  It has some rust, 
and great aged paint.  What I would like to do is convert the rust but leave

the paint as it is, so when you look at the piece closely, it shows the edge

going from converted rust to paint without the look of repainted or 
primered, just the blackish converted rust.

  Anyone have any suggestions on what product might give me that effect?

Thanks in advance,
Mike Brouillette
