    mine has barely none to. But buy some rust converter, which will try and stop the production of more rust. Then sand the rust areas down and make sure you take off any paint that you can tell there is rust under ( bubling ) sand it, primer it, bondo it if you have any holes and paint. The key is to stop it before it gets out of hand. good luck
