Rust on an 853 Frame :(

Hi folks, long time lurker but first post 
Returning to "proper" biking after a few years off to start a family. One of my bikes was a custom built 853 framed Raleigh Special Products Div
Pulled it out of the garage after a few years neglect and it looks a bit sorry for itself, most concerning are some rust blisters under the paint
Now as I understand it 853 is pretty thin tube steel so I wanted to get some views on how safe it will be to use
And also what might it cost for a respray?

Bob Jackson Cycles. Not the cheapest but they are probably the best.
