radiator rust?

One of my radiators has a little bit of rust in the bottom corner. Is there an easy way to fix this other than to get a new radiator?


You can treat the rust with rust treatment from b and q, or as mentioned a wire brush, then reapply a fresh coat of paint. check you dont have a leak which is causing the rust.
best of luck
