Funny I have the same problem. I just put some touch up on the rust and it hasent gotten worse.

But yea you may want to use some rust remover thats safe for paint. Or worst case I would use maybe some wd40 and a tooth brust to scrub off as much as you can. Then paint.

I would it may not spread wide but it can go deep. Get some really fine sandpaper 1000+grit and lightly sand the area. then touch up.

If he does that he will need to buff after the fact. Just thought Id throw that in there.
