Is this rust normal?

you need to treat the rust, then paint it. Undercoat is not a substitute for paint- it's main purpose is to protect floor pans and the underside of the car from rock chips and deaden sound. I wouldn't put undercoat on anything but the underside of the car body (floor pans, etc)- not on crossmembers. POR 15 is a durable paint that you can brush over rust that you might want to check out.

you're missing the point. Rust converter is not paint. Undercoating is not paint. Convert. Paint. Undercoat (if you want)
Here is the description:
NEW FORMULA FOR 2009/2010! Eastwood's renowned Rust Converter is now available in a convenient aerosol package. This high tech formula halts residual rust in its track and converts it into a black protective polymeric coating, eliminating the need for sanding. The converted protective coating is now a suitable primer and is compatible with most top coats. Additionally, the protective coating will seal the surface and prevent future rust growth. To apply, simply remove loose rust with a wire brush and spray on Eastwood's Rust Converter, allow it to dry and top coat it with a quality coating.
See where it says "compatible with top coats" That means you should paint over it. And if any doubt, read the last sentence. Undercoating is not a sealer like paint.
