if they rust through quickly it is usually down to bad preperation the black primer that comes on most panels is only to stop surface rust while they are on sale and it should all be removed to bare metal prior to painting properly, thinners with a cloth will usually take it off. if thinners doesnt move it then they are e coated so leave that on but only the expensive panels are e coated
