Figured somebody might need to know how to do this....

Bare metal doesn't really rust as fast as people think...
Needed tools/materials:
1. Metal brush
2. Hydrogen peroxide/vinegar/salt
3. Bowl and sponge (preferably the rough ones...or even metal...)
Step 1:
Clean as much of the previous crap (salt etc..) off the hood using the brush..
Here you can see the "cleaned" part vs. the old part...
Step 2:
Mix the chemistry - its not really dangerous so there's no need to wear gloves or anything - unless you're made of metal....
The mix is about 33% of each....
Step 3:
Apply chemistry to hood - do it in small portions as to avoid leaking etc...doing it under hot sun will help with the rusting but dries it off too fast...
Step 4:
Grab a beer and enjoy....
The peroxide and vinegar combo does something awesome - you can pretty much see the rust form right away - the only thing you want to watch out for is wiping it off - its very "fragile" at the beginning...
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for your actions. Please do not take a metal brush to a painted hood and hope it works. Apply caution when scraping the hood as to not damage the surrounding areas - fenders, bumper, headlights etc....
all you have to use is paint stripper get it to metal then spray some battery acid on it will rust in one night thats how I did mine
yeah - couldn't find any battery acid on my shelves
on top of that I used every paint stripper in the book and the paint just flaked stupidly and didn't really clean all that well - I had to take the grinding wheel to it....
