1993 eg roof chipping need help
Hello, my 1993 dx is giving me some issues with the roof. The roof seems to be chipping off easily and I don't know what to do, this just started happening and this is a first for me so if anyone has some advice it'd be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Re: 1993 eg roof chipping need help
does the rest of the car body paint look in good shape? any other peeling or chipping anywhere else? what kind of environment is the car kept in?
the roof paint looks to be in very bad condition, i wouldn't be surprised if it was poorly repaired at some point and now it's showing through.
from the looks of the first picture, there seems to be a lot of rust on the right hand side where the paint has opened up - was it looking like this as soon as the paint chipped away, or has it rusted over time? poorly prepared bodywork or panel rust could definitely contribute to the paint's degradation
if i were you i'd just strip the whole roof back to see the damage underneath. if it all looks good then prep and repaint the whole roof panel. either that or take it to a body shop to get checked out since big rust-effected areas won't be easy for you to fix
