It's a bit of a mess so needs doing. I plan to do the whole case and the black base too.
I'm not really up for the expense of getting matched paint at an automotive supplier. Did you just use white? Mine looks off-white rather than plain white.

Automotive paint suppliers will match the (aged) paint and provide rattle cans at a price. However, an exact match isn't so critical if the whole case is to be resprayed, as in this assistance. I used white radiator enamel to spray paint the top and sides of my PET's monitor.
As always preparation is the key to a successful repaint and I'd strongly recommend stripping the case completely before rubbing down and neutralising the rusty areas. Fill any pitting with knifing putty folowing the instructions on the tube. It'll be a long job if Colin is looking for a really satisfactory finish.
