Whenever you go to bare metal, especially in a rusted area, it is best to use some acid etch on the metal. Primer will stick to bare metal, but will stick better after the acid etch. You can get acid etch at the paint store.
Also, remove the weather stripping to make sure you get all the rust out from under it otherwise it will come right back. Get some 3M contact adhesive for the wether stripping if it is stick on type stuff.
Then prime the area then use a sealer, then paint.
