I'm not sure what rust remover does to paint & if it actually works if diluted.
I'd take the fork off, get a very bright torch and shine into it to assess damage before doing anything drastic. It may just be the welding hole and some fiddling about with a thin object and something to get rust off and some rust killer may be enough.
The S1 isn't made out of "pissoir steel" chromoly doesn't rust to oblivion quickly else my Charge Hob would be gone by now.
