      ​@@MarkEdwards Errr .......... Fords are seriously bad for rust. I inherited a 2007 Ka Mk1 from my old man tha he bought from new. Only 4.5k miles on the clock. Never used in winter, but underneath it was still dissolving before your eyes. Awful lack of rust protection. Compare it with my mother's Renault Clio 1.2 8v, 2005, same 3 dr like the KA, again bought from new, one owner, but now 120k miles on the clock used in all weathers but no rot on it anywhere. I service it. Properly. I drive Peugeots myself which have far superior rust protection and no rot on mine. British and Italian cars are the worst for rot. I had few Fiats and Lancias years ago and you could see them rust in front of your eyes, plus the electrics were terrible. Also German cars aren't that great either. You can see quite a few young corroded Mercs on the roads.

    I agree with the sunroof delete. If it wasn't there from factory shouldn't be there now. .. Difficult repair to be honest. But like your idea of sparying an actual top coat. Especially in black. This will show all the inperfections. .. Could try circling the individual flaws with chalk/crayon Then take a picture & use this as a guide to see were to focus the most work. .. Definitely improve the lighting. . Perhaps some lower light source closer & at 90°/parallel to the roof.? this will make it easier to see the flaws.. ...

    @lestercranmer2631 4 месяца назад

    I did the same thing last year on a fiesta, removing factory sunroof that had rusted all the way round, got it looking pretty good, but with the amount of filler because of the distortion, started cracking after a year, ended up fitting carbon roof, If I did it again I think I would get a piece wheeled & bond in with structural adhesive. I feel ashamed I used to break these RS's up for parts in the 80's & 90's but back then they weren't worth anything. Still a good job, black gloss takes no prisoners.😀

    Your not far away with the repair, and I’m sure you will get it better, however it’s very difficult to have a repair like that to be 100% perfect, and it’s down to whether you can live with it.
