sand to bare metal, if theres a hole, cut out rusty stuff, weld in new patch panel and grind weld. If no hole, fine puddy, seal, prime, paint, clear, wet/dry sand, buff. Your going to have to paint the whole quarter panel, or at least half of it and use a blending agent. A dime size rust spot on the quarter is not a simple job to be done correctly. If you dont know what your doing find a friend who does or take it to a shop. You can lay down the best paint, but if the work underneath wasnt done 100% it will look like crap. Also the color will determine the price. Black is the cheapest, I painted my truck an audi color (midnight pearl blue), sherwin williams wanted upwords of 900$ a gallon.

If you do it at home you need a good compressor, gun, moisture trap, and a ton of plastic just to get started. also if paint is faded it wont match.
