Painters help me please

I'm tackleing the rust thats right in the center of my door soon so I need some info on painting a door. What steps would I take after the rust spot is filled, sanded, back-sanded?

This is what I'm thinking, but keep in mind I am in NO way a painter .
- Degrease/clean
- Primer the spot (2 or 3 coats?)
- Sand? What grit?
- Clean again
- Base color coat the spot (# of coats?)
- Wet sand over-spray?
- Clear coat whole door?

I'm sure you can tell that I'm no pro at this, so just fill me in on what I'm doing wrong (maybe everything)
Just tell me the steps in which I need to do this, and what else I need, what grits of sandpaper, how many coats. Thanks in advance.

Is it just surface rust?Or does it go deeper?Well I guess you don't know untill you tray and sand it down..

Nah man, it's right through. Gonna have to cut it and weld in a new piece.. But I got that part covered.
I might even get another door, depending on how bad it is under the side molding, and what I can find at the junkyard. But either way it's gonna need paint.

Is it surface rust?

Well if you are getting a new door its best to start from bare metal

Oh ya, for sure, if I'm getting a new door it's gonna get a good sanding first.
