I hate to burst your bubble, but you can't just "erase" rust. It's not like a pencil marking on a piece of paper.

Think of rust, in stead, like taking a flame to paper. You can't just "erase" the ashes and somehow get un-burned paper again from that.

Rust is oxidized iron, so essentially, it's not iron any more. The best you could do is remove the iron oxide, and hope that there's enough iron under it to hold the shape it used to have.

To do this, I'd suggest getting rust remover, or just getting some kind of a heavy-duty belt sander; something that could scrape the rust off of the rest of it.
