That's what I did where it wasn't rusted through. Cleaned up, hit it with red rust converter primer, then a satin black rust topcoat. Going eventually bedliner/similar the whole floor.

Like others have said, rust converter will help. I used a good bit of that and bedlined every inch of the underside for all the surface rust. Any hole I found got cut out. The hole was patched over with stainless sheet and riveted down. I used silicone caulk to keep moisture from between mating surfaces. There's 25,000 miles on the first patch I did...still looks good as new.
