Mine had rust on the front of the rocket cover ... i bought rust remover (Hammerite) and just brushed it on over a period of a few hrs and its almost away.

Also had a bit like what your talking about, sanded it with wet and dry added tht rust stuff to it then primered it and its like new. hope tht helps

If its not too bad just sand it right down and re-spray it.
