What grit sandpaper did you use? Did you sand all the way down to the metal? I will assume that you sanded to the metal to get rid of the rust. In that case, I would buy a sandable primer, material to mask off the area that you will be painting, and 1000-3000 grit sandpaper. After you're done painting it, you'll need to buff the area to smooth the area out and blend it with the rest of the roof. Post some pictures if you have any and I'll try to help you the best that I can.
