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!!

I just bought a used pair of Sound Anchor stands that need a little touch up, too. The paint is a little grayed out so rather than touch up I'm going to clean them and then rattle-can the entire stands with some textured black paint that I got at the hardware store and then they'll look brand new all over. I got the paint to touch up my motorcycle where I ground off the side reflector mounts on the saddlebag frames. The textured paint is very black and looks really good. A lot more work than touch up but they will have a very uniform finish when I'm done.
No problems with drips as long as you are patient and don't spray the paint on too thick.
