I just had my first attempt at loose rust removal. The spinning wire brush that you can attach to a drill does not work as well as doing it by hand. YMMV.

Full face mask, gloves, leather jacket and Kevlar supporter. They work good, but those things are dangerous. When they get well used and the bristles have been heated a few times, they shed some, at fairly high RPM's.
You really have to respect the old angle grinder and wire wheel combo.

Watch out for sandblasting on sheet metal that you will paint. There's often a lot of moisture in the compressed air, and the pits in sandblasted surfaces hold it in. Dry it very well and prime it immediately.
And be careful using a really stiff wire brush on sheet metal. It makes a lot of heat, and can warp panels very quickly.
Ditto on the blaster. I got a compressor from Harbor Freight and a cheap blaster from Wally World, I'm gonna upgrade to a better one though, find myself using it quite a bit. It's quick and lets you really see what you are up against.
Abrasive Flapper disks like these babies remove rust very well, and they don't build heat up like a standard hard grinding disk. They also don't shed like knotted wire wheels.
