Carefully scrape off the rust with a tiny modeller's knife removing the least paint possible. Touch in all of the scrapes, scratches and nicks with a matching paint. If you can't get an exactr match, go for a shade darker. Then wax the whole thing. I'd be tempted to completely strip and respray the whole thing if I could get original decals - but it would lose a lot of originality and that would be a real shame.
