Prepare the Surface by Removing Rust

What happens here

Prepare the equipment's surface by grinding off rust and any loose, old paint. The video explicitly advises using a good quality, high-speed grinding wheel with appropriate discs (e.g., sanding or wire brush) to make this process much faster and more efficient, saving "days of labor." Proper preparation is crucial for the new paint to adhere well and last longer. The video highlights areas of existing rust and mixed paint colors, showing the need for this step.

Goal: Achieve a clean, smooth, and rust-free surface for priming.
