Angry rust on my new car

I had rust spots on my 2001 civic after the first 6 months. Specifically on the "trunk lid". My dealer recommended a body shop for me, to be repainted under warranty, the shop had 2 cracks at it, as the first time he did a terrible job, almost like they closed the trunk before the paint was dry. a few months later the rust is back, and my dealer told me to go back to the same shop. But as I was moving quite far away and didn't have time, I called Honda Canada and was told to get a letter from the dealership where I bought the car, so I could get the problem fixed where I am moving to. Now at the new place, they tell me Honda Canada will not authorize anything, as it was done once already, first they said maybe I don't wash my car enough, then they said it was probably "brake dust". I am not buying this, but what can I do? rust is rust, it's always going to be there! Now i am so sorry i bought the d***** thing in the first place. Any suggestions?
