Hey all,

I've got a KOF 3Rensho frame that exhibits a tiny amount of surface rust on the paint -- no bubbling, barely any roughness. Is there any sort of mild solution I could use to try to remove it and then re-clearcoat the spots without damaging the surrounding paint? Is oxalic acid (good for mild chrome rust, I know) or a thin solution of Barkeeper's Friend going to be tough on the rust without damaging the paint?

Suggestions are appreciated!
