The scourge of peeling rockers and trunk brake lights...

I'd love to take it to somebody to get it fixed, but it's the $$$ I'm afraid of. I have the tools, paint & primer, just not the know-how. I've done some basic touch up before, but this goes beyond what I've done in the past.

Exact colour matching/blending on the rockers doesn't matter, as I'll be putting my ZX3 skirts back on for winter. It's just mainly the prep I need help with.

Any tips/ideas/links would be greatly appreciated!

What's the bottom of your rockers like? Mine were'nt as bad as yours in terms of peeling paint along the side, but the bottom was rotten - I could push holes in it with my bare hands.

The type of repair you might get into will probably depend on whether or not you're replacing metal, or just touching up the paint.
