Necessary to stop rust on porcelain sign? - Wed Aug 21 2019 12:57 PM
I have this Gulf sign that was used at my Grandfather's station from 1937-1947. I've seen a lot of varied opinions on the subject of restoration. I'm not looking to do any kind of restoration other than maybe bringing out the color that is left. My question is more about if the rust needs to be treated or is it ok to just leave it alone. Based on what I've read so far I'm leaning toward just giving it a wipe down with WD-40. Will the effect of WD-40 last or will it need to be reapplied. I plan on hanging this in my garage. TIA.
