Gnarly large rust stain on the bottom of my toilet bowl [View all]

I removed much of the bowl water and scrubbed with both a non-metal scrub pad and a Brillo pad. The rust stain is still there.

What are my options? I heard I should get enamel spray and cover the rust stain that way. I don't want to buy another toilet for a 3 x 3" stain. Plus, I am concerned about leakage if the rust progresses.

Please advise me.

Thanks!
