Paint chip on roof

I noticed I have a dent on my roof from a rock, and it has started to rust. I just ordered touch up paint from Honda. What process should I use to fix this? I guess I need some compound to clean the rust? Then add paint, then clearcoat?

i got same problem on my trunk....just below the keyhole...

i don't think putting touch up paint will do the job since it's started to rust and there's mini-tiny bubles around it...

i HATE rust......

Do a search for paint chip repair. Its been gone over in gory detail before.
Short version.
Sandpaper, alcohol, primer, paint, wetsand, alcohol, clearcoat, wetsand, wax on, wax off.
