are they both on the same door?...

if so i'd be looking for a new one. he only way to solve both of them is that or a bodyshop! The rust needs taking back, treating and re-spraying. The scratch, looking at the dent that is also there, isnt repairable. the panel will be f**k.

well you grind/drill the rust off with a wire paint and rust remover attached to whichever tool.

Then prime it...(in grey) and then spray it in the carabic blue (33L).

you'll probs have to do quite a bit of the door tho to blend it...
