Default rust protective paint

Hi guys i have a very small amount of rust starting to creep through
un der the windscreen rubber on my Kombi.
If i took the windscreen out and stripped it back to bare metal is
there any sort of paint that maybe be better than the usual under
coast etc i should use before repainting?

For small jobs I use ordinary household epoxy adhesive. It adheres to
metal and keeps out air and moisture necessary for rust formation. It's
the only completely waterproof adhesive. Needs air temp to get up to 70
deg F to cure well. I leave it for 2-3 days before sanding and finishing.
