depends what your welding but heres what i do at work
1. grind off all paint on and around the affected area
2. cut out or grind rust away
3. weld up or weld plate
4. grind down welds if required
5. etch prime the area
6. filler or filler primer or primer depending on finish
7. sand back and prime ready for paint etc
this is the basics to every weld repair,
weld primer is only really needed if you intend to either weld outside (not recommended) or welding over a period of time

i recently cut the rot out of the boot floor on my rs turbo (see my project thread) After I had cut it all out I primed it all with weld through primer, i then made the plates and sprayed weld through primer on the back of them. Otherwise you end up with bare metal behind the repair which will rust sooner than if primed.
You can then finish it off however you want.
