I've always loved Alfa's and I've owned three of them but the rust issue never goes away.
I've seen back to bare metal, repaired and the repainted Alfa's start to bubble again in the usual locations within 12 months.

Not sure how true this is but a friend said it's because they used recycled Czechoslovakian steel so "they come with built in rust".

YMMV But this was one of the main reasons I went to German cars in my mid 20s.
