Painting over rust repair

[Flameboydan]

Hi guys,

I have a small circle of rust emerging on the lower end of one of the doors, I thought I'd get it sorted before it becomes a problem. I know the routine for removing the rust and filling over, however I'm not so certain about the method for smoothing/painting/blending into the rest of the door. Does anyone know the proper procedure for this?

Cheers

I used a rubbing compound to blend in paint once it had hardened . you can still see the repair slightly tho as the new paint is darker

Cheers Gm8, it's a pretty small spot and low down so I don't mind too much if it's a lightly different shade, won't show up unless you look for it. Just gotta find the time now, it's another one for my ever-growing list of oddjobs...
