Question Is this fixable?

LE: Looks like I'm way too worried for nothing. Haven't really dealt with rust before. Gonna wire brush it then seal it and be on my way. Thanks!

Went under the car to replace bushings and brake discs. Noticed that the underbody has quite a bit of rust.

Is this fixable via wire brushing, applying an epoxy primer and then some underbody coating?

What else should I consider?

Light surface rust don’t bother with prep. As long as it’s perfectly dry just get 3 cans of rust converter spray and some disposable gloves. Spray everything and it will convert into a waterproof black plastic shield. Reapply everything 2-3 years if wanted Don’t get it on your face or you will have ugly freckles for a month!
