Help with coating?

Im getting this corner and the other cut and welded, rest of the frame just has minor surface rust on the welds.
What should I do as a DIY after I get the frame fixed? Itll be bare metal with the surrounding rear bumper area looking like this.
Needle Scaler, then wire brush, what do I paint it with? Should I do the whole frame or just this area? Ill be fluid filming it after.

Just fluid film, other than the area that needs actual repair.

What should I do to the area?

Weld in fresh metal, paint the fresh metal/ welded area then fluid film.

Any recommendations on paint?

Ideally? 2 part epoxy primer base, and whatever industrial 2 part paint on top.
Realistically? Self etching primer and rustoleum top coat. I have used majic hardener mixed in with good results.

Edit* I was planning on hitting with the needle scaler, brush, then rust kutter.
