If you're really enthusistic about it, you could make it a weekend job along the lines of :
Sat am - remove upper wishbones from car and stick them in an electrolytic derusting bath :

Sun am - remove, rinse with water, dry thoroughly and then paint in your chosen colour after priming.
Sun pm - once dry, refit to the car and spray with something like Waxoyl or one of the modern versions (eg Bilt-Hamber products)
Electrolytic cleaning/derusting works very well. I've used it many times and one of the things it worked really well on was the rear tracking adjusters on my 800s - they are an eccentric bolt mounted in the rear trailing arms and have a habit of rusting solidly in the arms. Took a few days of soaking in the electrolytic bath but it shifted them. It also converts "latent rust" back into good metal as it reverses the oxidisation process.
Another thing it's useful for is if you have a wheel bearing rusted to a hub - it removes the rust from between the two components making it much easier to remove.
