I have seen my spray painter do that for years applying the putty. First is the mixed type, then the fine type direct from a can. It looks easy but skill is really needed to get it even and nice. For you probably you have enough practice and skilled enough....

4 years for repaired Wira roof to re-rust? That is very very good. I sent my wife's car last time to repair the rusted roof also. From top grind until bare metal, apply anti rust, putty, paint back. From below the roof cloth was taken out, scrap until bare metal, anti rust applied, new sealant and painted back only lasted 6 months, that is why I sold it and never bought a Proton again...

X la where got skill enuff bro..myself oso stil learning...just that I have d opportunity to do it on a frequent basis n practice..sometime oso 'hancus' :)...

D thing about roof rust (any rust for that matter) depends on LUCK bro...d process n kind of products do play a part(x point u go all d trouble grinding,anti rust etc but use low quality products...x get me wrong x saying d painter did so)..taking care of it oso plays a major part..

For me I did d similar process u mentioned (except I did it DIY at home hehe)..grinded,acid it,anti rust it,putty/fiber it,primer it n lastly spray it (of coz d last 2 process did it at workshop)...after spraying anti rust inside out I sprayed d primer..sanded it..let it settle 2 days then sprayed color..I did 3 layers just to b safe s well to protect from debris n heat..lacquer wise I used hi-grade from glasurit oso 3 layers (I find it more thick n 'rubbery'...geeez sounds funny x it??)...this in my opinion helped a lot to protect from d sun..park in covered garage..but like I mentioned LUCK...
