Default rust

I have 2007 rubicon unlimited with 82k kms.
My rocker guards are showing a lot of rust...is this a common occurence or is it only me?
Thank goodness i purchased a rustproofing package from the dealer so if any rust shows up they will take care of it.
But c'mon my 1999 honda civic has less rust!

YOUR AVATAR SHOWS YOU IN A PLACE YOUR CIVIC WOULD NOT GET SCRAPED UP.
Also check to make sure you need to/or have missed any rustproofing maintenance applications. Also read that rustproofing warranty and usually they only cover holes working from the inside of the vehicle out.
If they charged any more than KROWN at about $120 +/- a year forget the dealer for recoats.
Run the Honda through gravel and mud and let us know rust.

will it match the current black paint, or are those rust-proof paints different? I also have rust showing up on my rock rails from some boulder-kissing....
