Do it yourself. Get a sander, $100 or less. Get some primer, $15. Get some factory paint, $30.
Total : $145
Knowing you did it right and feeling accomplished : Priceless
1. Sand off all the paint AROUND the rust area, and sand off the rust too. Get to the shiny metal underneath.
2. Prime the newly exposed metal, let dry.
3. Paint.
---If you have holes, you're screwed and may have to do some welding and what not
. Expect to pay some big bucks then....
