Agreed.

If it's surface rust with no pitting (pitting indicates that the damage is extremely severe and that you will need to sand the metal away or sand/particle blast the area before filling it) then you can get away with a wire brush and removing the surface rust, cleaning the affected area, and finally filling and priming the area with rust conversion primer.

Again, agreed with the exception of the piting. If it's pitted and weakened I'd cut it out and replace it. If it's minor I would sand it all down with a contor DA pad. Hit it with some rust converter and then resand it so that the converter is only in the pits. Prime it with a good epoxy primer and then get into it with the filler/glaze.

Take a look at my REBuild thread. I have a bunch of images in there on severe rot repair. All cutting and replacement. I didn't have and surface rust. They were all gaping holes unfortunately
