i took apart some of my car and what i notised is a have many spots with rust (like 20) its all little rust and oxidation , do you think sandpaper/screwdriver and spraypaint would be an effective way to get rid of it

well i just sanded mine down, sprayed that rust check primer stuff on. then i got a frost white can and sprayed my rear quarter panels. yeah it scratches it up a bit but nothing that scratch X can't solve. btw this was only where the plastic strip was where you take out. i had some surface rust near the bottom of my doors. i just sanded it down sprayed it and put scratch X on. getting a paint job sometime before summer so it's just a temp fix. i have to do it like every 3-4 weeks depending on how wet it gets. still looks fine IMO, you can't notice it unless you walk right up to the car.
