Yup. Cleaning is cheap. If you want to get rid of that rust layer on the hood soak some paper towels or an old towel in CLR, spread it out on the rust and put Saran Wrap over it to keep it from drying out. I've not done it but I saw people do it on the H.A.M.B. (hot rod forum) and it gets the rust off and some paint is still there. CLR is a cleaning agent. Most grocery stores and Walmart carry it:

Here is what the CLR did to my hood.
Lots of rust came off

LOL. I was expecting some paint to be left behind. I guess it saved you some sanding of rust. I was planning on using CLR on my kids grandfather's Craftsman tool chest. It has some rusty areas but I don't want to mess up the paint. At least you have a smooth hood now. You have a great shop to work in.
