I have the paint code and a fairly new touch up paint tube I bought from Mercedes. I'll see if the DuPont guys can match the paint and provide the proper primer..

I'll let you know how it turns out.

If you are going to go through the trouble of grinding of the rust (good idea), you may want to invest in a pint of topcoat and clear.

If you are not worried about perfect color match, you can spray those areas with an airbrush. Airbrushes spray paint very dry, and it seems to be impossible to get them to do otherwise, but they will do a better job than touchup paint.
