where is the rust located?
pretty sure there are sand paper flap wheels for grinder.
i have used the 3m pads for die grinder which also work well.

I burnt up a drill using wire wheels to clean up rust on my floor.
i've used the sandpaper flapper wheels on a grinder before too, and they didn't last very long, I wouldn't reccommend them. the stiff sponge wheels work well too, but again, the oens I had were for use in a drill. all the dust I created got into the drill and it didn't live very long

If sand blasting is not an option?
Are those 3-M wheels anygood?
If so do they make them for a 4" or 4.5" grinder as I realy don't want tp use a drill. Any other option?
I DA them with 80 grit But I'm not a professional painter and can't spell so what do I know, LOL

Depends where the paint is and how deeply penetrated the rust is; also how large of an area... more details please.

The best way is to dip it.
Why is blasting out of the question?
Long story:
The car was dipped but the doner part I am using was not. Orginaly I should have not had to use the parts that need cleaned up! But the body shop the car used to be at cut the whole front floor out instead of useing the 3/4 patch pans I gave them.They also ruined the quaters by cutting them off to make the trunk floor easy to install 
Went out of biz and gave me that car back {they screwed me out of 5800 bucks and lost lots of parts.Car has sat a long time but now I am going to have time and $$ to at least gather the parts I neeed and do some work.
As far blasting goes I paid 2K for new grass sod and wife looked at me like 
BUT as of This morn she gave the go ahead to blast what Ineed to

I've got a good, pre wal-mart era drill. It's never missed a beat with the 1/2 dozen floors I've cleaned with the wire wheel. I like the wire wheels for stuff like floors because they don't wear out like the 3m discs that don't last long at all.

I use both a cup and disc in a 4 1/2" angle grinder to strip metal. It works well and leaves the metal nice and smooth.
I had a wire cup for my grinder i tried it on my trailers diamond plate it worked well but soon after it was turning the metal a black color but wasd still removing paint and rust.
Back then plan was to do the whole deck with the grinder wipe with DX579{ppg} laqure thinner and epoxy prime followed by paint.
I never got around to it but wondered if the blacking was going to be a problem?
Thus the reason for this thread. Just looking at opinons on What worked for others since a plan/system would benefit lots of apps.
Thanks for all the input so far

This guy looks like he could have handled the body shop.
