In another group, some have suggested electrolysis methods. I've not tried
it
but they talk about hanging the piece in a stainless tub and applying
current
to it. I don't recall what they suggested for elecrolyte but I suspect it
isn't
critical. Most anything that doesn't plate out of solution should work.

Odd, for many years I used Naval Jelly to clean
rust off cans in my beer
can collection. I never once saw it take any paint off, and I used it on
some
pretty fragile old cans. It worked wonderfully
without messing up the
paint.
I'm sure it did. But Naval Jelly is a very old product and not very safe.
There are better, safer, preparations.
I've got a friend who runs an antique auto restoration business. He says
that he uses the Eastwood products:

Maybe there's something there that might do the job for you.
FWIW,
