will a 400ex start to rust if you leave it outside for about 1 week under a tarp?

Possible, but not likely in a week. Just make sure the tarp doesn't have any holes.

The hole's don't really matter... lol. It's straight moisture that makes the rust (I know holes make it worse...) My 01 rusts where there is no paint or where it's chipped off... I would just clean and paint where you think it might need it.

Where ever there is chips, or scratches in the paint it will rust. If there is paint over the steel, then you don't have anything to worry about.
