Rust Proofing
Howdy all I purchased a completely rust free bed for my truck a few months ago and was wondering what I could do to keep any new rust from forming.. Like holes in wheel well arches for drainage and such.. Any advise would be great! Thanks!

Remove the wheel well arch supports(drill out 30 or so spot welds per side)
Clean and paint the back of the bed skin.
Drill 1" drain holes in the arch support and then paint it.
GLUE the arch back in.
Once a year(in the fall) spray fluid film in each cross member, inner arches and taillight pocket
