    There were some rust spots in there, so i sanded it to bare metal and used Krylon paint + primer satin white to paint over the bare metal. I can not afford to paint the entire roof right now.

    That's an acceptable repair for now anyway.

    It's always harder when you're close to the ocean, but that should hold for 2+ years.

    Thank you for clearing my doubts. And yeah, this car spent like 7 years quite close to the ocean so the paint is in not too good shape. I first applied once, but it looked bad, so i removed it and applied again, now it looks worse and is more noticeable, i give up and will wait until i can send the car to get the roof painted
