First I clean the spot with a pre-paint cleaner (alcohol will do, but I use R-M Pre-Kleano Surface Prep - I bought a gallon 20+ years ago). Then I sand the spot with a fiberglass rust eraser pen, then clean again, repeat if necessary, then prime with something like Rustoleum primer. I use a spraycan of the primer on a piece of scrap cardboard or plastic in one spot, then dab a brush in the wet primer, and then use the paint on the brush to prime the spot. When the primer is dry, then I paint with color. I am *not* a fan of abuseage. I have been known to carry bicycle forks into hobby stores to find the closest touch-up paint (single - no nail polish in the house to steal).
