  If the paint job is beyond hope, you might as
well try to do a
 restoration on it, rather than a preservation. One thing you might
 consider, if you really want it to look like new, is to take the empty
 case to an auto paint shop and have them give it a professional paint
 job. A friend of mine did this with one of his old computers, and the
 shop did a fantastic job for less than $100.00. Those guys know how to
 match paint, patch dents and scratches, and all that. 
Or take it to a place that will powder coat it, so they can also match the
texture.

Hi
 I'm told that some vinegar will remove rust stains. Try
putting a piece of paper towel on a small patch and wet it
with white distilled vinegar. Let it sit for a few hours 
and see how it does.
 Even if it doesn't work, what do you have to lose.
