New Flares on the Pickup

I bout this truck in May of 2014 and did quite a bit to it my first few months of ownership..... Exhaust, leveling kit, wheels and tires. But now after owning for a year and 5 months I havnt really touched it. The paint on my truck was near perfect when I bought it (Had 169ks on it). Only thing that went bad was the rear fenders have been starting to show some bubbles and rust coming through. Just fixed that last night with these............

Looks good. But if you didn't fix the rust or at least do something to slow it down, it's just going to spread past the flares.

Oh yes but the cost for the fix is much more $$$ than this old girl is worth. I have that black rust prevention tar stuff covering the exposed rust. Nothing much more that can be done. Truck will not be with me much longer anyway as its getting closer to trade in time.
