My 98 Sport's paint has been starting to crack over the past few years. I never did much about it except for using some matched spot paint in some places. But there's rust now and paint cracking and chipping off. I unfortunately never did a great job of taking of the paint (waxing, polishing, etc.). All the chipping and rust is on the roof of the Sport. Take a look at the pics and see what you think. (the car is dirty so the dust may make it look worse)
cracked along top (not sure what to do here)
Rust spots
Rust spot and unfortunate chipping that occured after windshield was replaced when painters tape was taken off
I spot painted this. This the top of the taligate
I was thinking sand, prime, and paint. But I've never done this type of thing before so if you make a suggestion please fill me in on what I should I get. Will I need filler? Also not sure what to do about the cracking.
