I am getting a hand sized web of what look like fine white cracks on the roof of my Black '95 Z28.

I think it may be more than just problems with the paint. I realize that the roof is SMC.

Has anyone else seen this before, or have a method to repair the roof panel?

A search on roof cracking didn't find anything on this board.

Thanks

It could be the paint, I have never worked with the clear coat before.

Sanding will identify the problem for sure, I guess I can't make it look much worse.

Going to replace the hood due to rust.

So I should get the whole car painted.

I have the spray setup, but not much room to work in.

I might do the prep work and get a shop to spray the top coat.

I don't know about a good body shop, I talked to a few around here they want about $1500.00 to paint the car. That was before this started on the roof. You tend to find the good shops by getting ripped off by the bad ones. There are only two shops in town here and only one has a real spray booth.

This will not be a scuff it and go paint job. Has to be sanded right or it will be a waste. Hard to trust a shop to do lots of difficult hand work that will be covered up. They may try to cut corners.

Thanks for the info
