Get yourself a self-recovering spot-sandblaster, a bag of media, some rust convertor, spray primer, and the touch up paint.
The spotblaster makes a clean little hole down to grey metal. The rust convertor goes subsurface and leaves a black coating, the primer giveas a sanding base, and the top coat leaves semit-matching shiny spots where you wee working. Old paint fades a lot. Better to eyeball it from a Duplicolor can.

Don't overdo it, or you'll end up with an urban camoflage look to it.
