Rust in my new/old Freezer

[mike_in_winchester]

I have a new house and a Whirlpool EH150F 14.8 cu ft chest freezer conveyed. It is "solid core" and has a tiny hump (10x10 in one corner) which lends itself to a kegorator. I would like to use that as such and promote the old 7.1 to Ferm duty.

I have surface rust on the floor and the lid of the Whirlpool. The lid is a no brainer as I will most likely be painting the entire exterior. The question is the inside.

Is it just a matter of sanding and some rust inhibiting paint or do I need to use something else because of the potential temp it might see?

Thanks,

The freezer I bought of Craigslist was pretty badly rusted. I picked up some rust remover and white appliance spray from Homedepot and it is pretty much good as new.

I have used this stuff in the past in other applications.

You can then paint over it once dry.

Cool, thanks. I won't be able to hit it for a week or two, but I will post the before and after.
