Serge: Remove the paint and inspect for oversize/elongated holes. Oversize holes can be repaired. If rust is only on the surface it can be removed . If rust has created pitting, then a closer look is required. Pits adjacent to holes are not good, as well as near the end of the fitting for bolting the WAF pieces together. If you are going to paint the fittings, in lieu of plating, use a two part epoxy primer. On a really clean part it is a fantastic primer. The US Navy used it on shipboard F-4 phantoms. Good luck on this endeavor. Bob Morrissey
