Best really to either grind it off (provided it's only surface rust) or get it cut out and replaced all together. If you're not in a rush to sort it then try some t cut first, this will get rid of all the orange oxadisation off the paint and just leave you with the bubbles, just bear in mind that the longer you leave it though the worse it's going to be when it comes time to repair it.
