Painting Rust

I bought a sweet mastercraft rotary tool and a 105 head set for it last week. I have a wire head to grind the rust down.

I went to see a Corolla GTS last week that Ill be picking up if it passes etest, but it has some minor rust spots

Its surface rust and only between the fender and rear bumper

Anyways I was planning to grind the rust off, sand it down, primer then paint. The only problem is I dont know how to paint so it will blend in and not look boro...any sugestions as to paint type and technique?

Ive seen 4 around town, none owned by enthusiasts, I know aaron from this board lives in ottawa during the school year but leaves his 86 back at home. (booooooooo)

I tried buying one from a lady (tried the note on the windshield trick) but she isnt selling this summer (she said probly next summer) the one im looking at now is sorta a last chance...if it falls through Ill take whatever daily driver I can get
