Rust forms from the inside out, not the other way round.
Usually from water and/or moisture getting into tight spaces and cavaties in the body where air can't circulate easily to keep the internal surfaces dry.
If it stays damp enough for long enough and works it's way through the protective barriers (primers and paints) and reaches the bare steel rust starts forming.
Once the rust starts it forms a chemical reaction with steel. This process cannot be reversed once it begins. If rust permeates to the core of the bare steel and it's left unchecked, it is only a matter of time until it consumes all the steel in it's path or, the whole car.
However this could take decades.
Just remember: Rust never sleeps. LOL
HTH

rust can start from the outside in. if you had a rock chip or a scratch that went to the bare metal, then it would rust from the outside in .
