You need to remove the rust completely and prep it before you paint, otherwise it will just come back. A wire wheel or light grinding disk works well. No matter how deep the rust is, you have to get it all.
You can use a filler such as Bondo fiberglass filler for anything deep, its pretty easy to use and prep.

Yep, you have to get it all..
In fact, after grinding, I like to flood the area with Ospho, a chemical that sort of turns rust back into metal. Or at least stops the rusting process, before I fill.
