Sand till bare metal and remove the rust.Sand blast if rust is extreme.Then use a self etching primer.Then use a surface primer or a sealer(your choice).Then 2-3 coats of a top coat.Finish with 2-3 coats of clear.

Almost forgot,rustproof or undercoat the back side of the panel you just fixed.If you can't get to it,spray oil in there.Oil is a great rustproofing,cause it gets where the water gets inside door bottoms.
