Picking up a swing at the weekend for the kids, its a little rusty, what would be the best way to re-paint it?

Hammerite all the exposed metal bits - 'cures' & covers rust easily - just make sure all the nuts are secure before letting youngsters loose on it.0

Give it a rub down with a wire brush first, to get all the loose surface rust off, then hammerite it as everyone says.0

Another vote for hammerite. Buy a pack of £1 paint brushes and throw them in the bin when done, and a pack of plastic / vinyl gloves (the voice of experience)0
