Day 1. Here's where things started.
And here's where the day ended.
That's a bunch of sanding to remove the rust and get down to bare metal, then a couple coats of self-etching primer followed by 3 coats of a filler primer.
I'm actually surprised at how well this came out - at least to start. In that last photo, you'll notice that yes, the masking tape pulled off a bunch of the original color coat. That is a problem in the general area, which I'll address in the next installment. And I plan to at least attempt to correct some of the failed clear coat that you can see. It's failing across the entire roof, but I'm only going to attack a limited area at first.
This is my first attempt at some semi-serious body work. I'm not looking for show quality here. Mainly I just want to protect the steel and hopefully not look too horrible in the process. So be gentle with your comments and corrections.
