It looks like a glass top, can you get that out?

Loads advertising to sand blast and powder coat.

Wire brush. Sand. Rust remover. Rust treatment. Paint.
Horrible job

Probably, but wouldn’t like to force it at the moment, it’s probably rusted in.

Well if it were me I'd start by seeing if you can get the glass out or not and take a wire brush to the really bad bits just to see what's what ...

 

[Why Not Indeed]

If it's rusted in then there's probably nothing left to salvage but the glass top.

Good old Hammerite is still a good choice.

Good old Hammerite is still a good choice.

A couple of times a year Lidl/Aldi sell their own brand direct to metal paint, about £5 for a litre, so a fraction of the price of hammerite, and just as good imo.

For a quick tidy up I would go over all the metal work with a wire brush/scraper then slap on some paint.

Must give that a try.
