It looks like you tried making the paint do more than it wanted to (fill the small pitting from the rust.)

Ideally that spot:

Strip rust with wire wheel (or do a wicked job with some 180)

Fill any remaining pitting/anything larger than a droplet of water. Using a polyester putty (bondo)

Feather/sand area to 180 dry or 220 wet

Prime only the work area (don't tape off the perimeter of the work, the line will never disappear once you do paint it)

Then either leave it in primer (all primers absorb water so you don't want it to stay uncovered for extended periods of time)

Epoxy primers are much better and hold up longer to the elements than air inhibited primers. You used the later, which is fine. But don't consider it fully "protected" until you get a real liquid coating and UV damage resistance to the area.

That's how I do it. Give er take. Pm me if you need any advice/info
