Cool

Well. I decided to do poor man repair and to cover up cancer consequences.

I did the following
  1. Stripped rust along with detaching stuff on top of the rocker till the area where the stuff is holding firm on the rocker
  2. Treated rust with rust converter
  3. Leveled slightly dent rocker with two-component bondo spot & glaze putty. I heard that single component bondo spot & glaze putty tends to crack way more and dries longer.
  4. Applied several layers of Dupli-Color filler primer.

It look okay so far.

I'm going to
  1. Put Stone Guard from NAPA/Martin Senour
  2. Paint it

I will let you know when it falls off

How to blend paint/clear coat to existing ones besides feathering edges?
