paint flakin.....

Helppppppp..... what should I do
to stop this paint flakin from spreadin
until I get the paint job next year.... every time I was my car it gets worse cuz the water gets underneat the edge of the paint and loosens it......

there is a few spots on the body on top right behind the t-tops.. someone tried to break into my car once and faileed.. but scratched the paint.. well.. then rain, washing etc.. caused it to flake off..... I am getting it painted next year.. but should I sand this and primer it with grey primer or something..... ?

I would just sand the area and feather the edges in. Then prime and paint with blue.

Don't just sand & seal with primer as you may start a rust problem, Make sure you top coatas well coz primer doesn't seal totally.
