Do what I did and coat the Hell out of the inside of the fenders with rust inhibiter or undercoating. It'll help.

Get zinc galvanizer in a can. It's sold through McMaster-Carr. If not or if it's already primed, you could spray it with undercoating or extra layers of primer. I used undercoating on mine.

You could use a coat of POR-15 rust preventative paint (which is awesome by the way), and use their Tie-Coat primer over it to prep for a color-matched paint. Works like a champ, as long as you keep your layers smooth.
