Default oh nuts!

Noticed a few wee splits in my vinyl roof (well it is 35 years old) so had a pick

Glad I found it now and the rust is mainly surface.

But what to do now? Recover? Repaint, or gas monkey clear coat - joking about the clear coat

Take the roof back to bare metal, rust treat it, prime it, paint it and put a new vinyl roof on it, sorted

Same as above, treat it properly, give it a good lick of paint and then put the vinyl back on.
