Here is what I would do. I would sand away the rust back to visible metal. Then tape off the main body part and the fender lining.

Get a really nice primer that prevents rust. Do a couple coats. Then lightly sand that to get your final coat to stick.

I'm sure you can find a spray can of your cars color at the local auto store. Then also pick up a clear coat.

Wet sand your final clear coat before you put wax on. Then I would check all other fender wells for rust in that area. If no rust is present wax them up good before winter.

Heres the thing, in the last pic I can feel the paint chipping off, and its getting pretty close, like danger close, to being visible so i'm afraid doing that would chip a huge piece off the visible paint.

Looks like the quarter panel was replaced or repaired before.. Door line is very close..
