Default little bubbles above rear tire fenders

heys guys...unfortunatley i have been noticing some small bubbles in the paint on my fender on the rear drivers side fender. i know its rust, is there any quick tips/ways to prevent it from spreading untill i can get the cash to have it sandblasted down and painted again? kinda bummed me out, its only an 04 with 61k on it and ive had it for around 3 months now...

Yeah I unfortunatly have the same problem...Its because there two panels laminated together adn traps salt. About all you can do is spray Krown Rust Inhibitor into the backside of the wheel well and hope it slows it down some...at least im hoping it does too. And watch for your cab corners too

I don't know the fix but it appears that it is a normal cancer that most all Dodge pickups get if driven up north where salt is used for snow and ice. At least my 1995 and 2005 got it. The 2007 has not yet shown any signs of it but I am almost sure that it will in the near future.
