If it's not too serious, sand down to clean metal. Apply rust killer, and then paint. I'd use layers Hammerite or equivalent on the parts that won't be seen and then lot's of zinc primer and layers of car paint on the parts that can be.

Once dry, load the inside of the car door with waxoyl and the outside edge with regular car wax. Build up the coats of wax.

Pay particular care to edges - where the metal is thin and exposed to the elements on more than one side.

Finally, buy cheap mud flaps, cut to fit and attach to the liner on the front wheel arches. This stops salt being thrown onto the sills and doors in future. Mud flaps on the rear wheel arches save the tailgate.

Being the heavy-handed type; I'd angle-grind back to bare metal and then follow Martiny Y's advice:)

HHmmmmmmm
 
Make sure you do it thoroughly, as Italian tin worm is particularly vicious ...

Steve the geriatric Panda and Beagle freak, but can't see no problem in running a Brava in the meantime ...

yeah its odd that the one side with the mus guard is fine but the drivers side has no mud guard and its starting to show rust. I clean my car a lot and use auto gleam polish on it same as my motorbike seems to do the job
