I would definatly advise against that. First off, it will rust if you get it to bare metal. Second, I think it would look worse with a rusty sunroof than with a red one. Why not go to your local hardware store and buy some fine grit sandpaper. Then buy some white paint, and then an indoor outdoor clear enamel. sand the red paint lightly until the paint is dull, then paint it with white. Let it dry. do this 4 or 5 times, then do the same with the clear. I would NOT suggest this for a long term fix, but it will look hella better and be alot better for your car than a rusty sunroof. Just an idea.

If you remove the paint now, and wait some months before painting it, you will get lots of rust..<p>Only sensible thing is to do it right the first time <p>nope-mx3

definatly! but in a pinch ya know. In fact you can also get metal primer in a spray can from your local auto body store. I dunno if the ones sold at home improvements would work on metal.
