What to use on rusted red painted parts?

It’s been said that oxalic acid dulls red paint. What else yields the same results but without the side effects?

For emersion rust removal I use citric acid for both painted and plated parts. I have used it on red painted items and have had no issues. Red stripes and pins are another issue entirely and I would never advise exposing them to anything but very careful detailing by hand. I have found that citric acid it is more controllable and far less tricky than OA. It's like cheap Evapo-rust.
