I also coated the roof rust with some rusty metal primer.

I love your bus, nice progress. As far as rust like this goes the rusty metal primer will slow it down some but it will come back unless you grind it down and chemically convert it (phosphoric acid) or blast it.
I like these along with wire wheels:

Then some high zinc primer/epoxy primer/etch primer, then primer, then paint. Sorry if I'm telling you stuff you already know.
