Rust

[Budgiessss]

Hi guys so in the previous threads I mentioned that my budgies were fighting. We got some cages that were used from someone but I didn't realize that there were spots of rust until I washed it...It's mostly on the bottom grate part so would it be fine if I removed the grate or put paper on top of it to cover the rust? Here r some pics..

From the looks of it the cages were chrome plated. It's clear in your photos that lots of this plating has been removed leaving bare steel everywhere that's likely to rust a lot more.
Do you know anyone that does powder coating?

Can it still be used? The seller that he only used it for his canaries.
