Default small rust spot fix how too??

hey guys. im compileing a list of stuff i need to do for the truck. so i posted a few times recently.. here's another. i have 2 small spots right on the front of the truckone near the grille and other just on the outside of the front left light that are about the diamater of a pencil of rust.pretty small to notice but the paint i can see is going to start to come off sooner then later. what would be the best way to fix this. a friend said since its right on a corner of the body for both said to just lightly sand down the effected area till its clean and then just spot touch it up with some primer and paint. clear coat afterward. does that sound ok to do? i don't want to repaint the whole fender and hood to fix it. plus there so clse to wher teh hood and grille meet and where the left turn signal is to fender that i don't think anyone would notice with a good paint match.
any suggestions welcome. .
thanks.
