It only had minor rust damage, but nothing too serious

The locker is 6'6"h X 15"w X 18"D
Step 4: Sanding
Decided to use 60 grit sand paper and my orbital sander.
Step 5: More Sanding
Took about 30 minutes to do.
Step 6: More Sanding...
What i couldn't hit with the sander i did myself with a piece of 80 grit

My wife hit it with one can of glitter paint.
