Okay as the title implies, the roof on my 05 X-Runner is rusting. I've ignored it long enough... The paint and clear are blistered and in multiple spots I've got large sections of rust blisters. What do I have to do to remove the rust to prep the metal to be repainted?

sand all the way down and apply a rust stopping agent. then lay down some epoxy primer/sealer. depending how heavy you lay it on you may need to wet sand the primer and reseal before laying color and clear coat. my roof is doing the same. i think im going to do the same but after the epoxy primer/sealer im going to do a carbon fiber vinyl.

Does this only happen with the BSPs? I remember Steve posting about this a long time ago but haven't kept up with any other occurances.

Could be.... but it could be from infected chips in the paint! I know when I got a new windshield the guy told me the metal was all rusted but only surface rust.... I'm not sure; I didn't get to see it ..
