    How did you buff out a rust spot???? How would you go about tinting the paint yourself for a color match? Do you have a mixing machine with all the tints on it at your disposal?

    The best thing you can do is go to a good jobber store and talk to them. They should be able to scan the color and then tint it to a blend-able match for you. We do it all the time for customers.

    Unless you removed all the rust...Paint wont help for long. If you did get all the rust off and are familliar with doing spot panel repairs...Listen to car nut...If not find a good shop to repair it for you.
