Need touch up paint advice

I have a small area near the right rear corner of the bed that has some surface rust popping through that I need to deal with. Since I do not have any spray paint equipment this is going to be a touch up paint job that hopefully I can buff out good enough so that it won't look too much like it came out of a can. I know it's not going to be perfect but considering the area to be painted this is the best option for me short of taking it to a body shop.

My 98-F150 has the Lt Prairie Tan Metallic Clearcoat on the bottom and the area I need to work on is about 3" x 12". I have searched online for the spray paint and need some advice on what paint to buy since there are a lot of different manufacturers of this color. Anyone have any experience with this? Preferred online stores?
Thanks,

Ron

Spray cans are definitely the way to go in this case. The little brush bottles won't cut it for something 3x12

I bought spray cans from TouchUpPaintOnline.com to repaint the fender after the truck was vandalized on Mischief Night, which is coming up again in less than a month The paint matched really well and I was surprised how good of a job I was able to do with a spray can
