What ive done is sand it down lightly to the metal. What I will be doing is:

1.Rust Remedy > Sand
2.Primer/Filler
3. Paint

Now for the paint does anyone recommend any site which sells the OEM paint but in a spray can form?

This is the paint I was thinking of using from Amazon https://www.amazon.ca/Dupli-Color-CBVW20377-Automotive-Non-Carb-Compliant/dp/B07BFHLZGQ/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=Tornado+Red+Volkswagen&qid=1559319045&s=gateway&sr=8-2#customerReviews

What I will be doing is similar to this video, thankfully my rust in on the inside of the door so it won't be too noticeable.

I used the one from Duplicolor for the color Magic Black (LC9Z), the color match is pretty good with the original one but of the course the finish is a bit less smooth although this can be corrected

Can I use a white or grey primer? Or should I use a red like primer?

What do you mean by red primer? You can use the primer you want as long as you sand the area and remove ALL the rust. I couldn't (the rust was deep enough to have made some pits in the metal that wouldn't sand well) so I applied a rust converter, then a zinc protector spray before priming on mine but then the paint bubbled a bit 6 months later (in very small spots), however one and a half years later it seems to be stable.
