Rust?

Anybody have any rust issues? Specifically anybody with the older Subies? I know its because of the salt in the air from the ocean but I've started seeing little spots of rust on some small spots of exposed metal on my car. Anybody have suggestions to prevent or stop this?

If your paint is bubbling, than time to do surgery and cut it out and por15 it.
