Question how do you stop rust?

I took out the drop in bed liner today and noticed that the previous owner had drilled into the bed and installed something and then removed it before trading the truck in I assume, anyways it wouldn't really bother me except for the fact that there is rust around the holes and the paint is curling up and chippin off, has anyone had this problem and what should i use to stop the rust thanks for any help.

To stop it you have to remove it. You can slow it down by using a inhibitor like rustoleum or something. Bout the only thing ya can do is sand the area down to bare metal and priming and painting the effected area.
