I found a set of legs yesterday (I know that is really bad as I had completely forgotten about them) and they are basically brown (worse than the inside of Nino's examaple above) but for a small ridge of chrome.

Has anyone had experience using Ranex on legs that are this badley corrodoed? Are they too far gone? In the past I have ground the legs back and then repsrayed however would be interested in using ranex if there was a hope they could be saved.

my instinct is the chrome has all rusted off though

Any thoughts?
