Sand the paint back then get a wirebrush on it to get rid of the ingrained rust. You could use zinc primer under the paint which holds back the rust a bit better.

paint the rust with dinitrol or hammerite rust beater first then primer then top coat

also remove inner panels and treat with dinitrol from inside as they usually rust inside out
